The stockpile of chemical warfare agents in the US is estimated at greater than 25,000 metric tons. The disposal of these chemicals poses both potential environmental impact and health risks. This issue is highly controversial because incineration has been adopted by the armed forces as the destruction method. Destruction of the stockpile by irradiation of a wkter solution is a viable alternative to incineration. Bench-scale ( 60 Co) and fullscale (75 kW Ε-Beam) studies were performed on aqueous solutions spiked with the agent simulant methane phosphonic acid, dimethyl ester (DMMP). The main variables in the experiments were concentration of the simulant, dose, and water quality. In addition to experimental studies, we have employed a computer-based chemical kinetic model to simulate compound destruction. The treatment produced destruction efficiencies of up to 99.97%. Bicarbonate/carbonate concentration, at low concentration of simulant, as well as simulant concentration influence removal efficiency by acting as radical scavengers.
