Analytical Chemistry Associated with the Destruction of Chemical Weapons

Synopses & Reviews One of the major problems associated with the disposal of chemical weapons is that the agents have degraded over time, some quite seriously. Detecting and identifying the products of this decomposition are necessary prerequisites to the safe, complete and environmentally benign destruction of stockpiled weapons. The book presents and discusses both basic and novel techniques in a variety of areas of analytical chemistry which are relevant to achieving the ultimate destruction of chemical weapons. Presentations address sample collection and preparation, mass spectrometry, chromatographic techniques, NMR, and air monitoring techniques. The work shows that analytical methods do exist to effectively support the destruction of chemical munitions. While further research is needed, the book provides an excellent baseline for further advances in the field.
Book News Annotation: The designers and builders of chemical weapons had in mind only one
possible destiny for them, which is now considered less than fully
desirable by many people. The 29 papers demonstrate that analytical
methods currently exist to support the effective destruction of
chemical weapons, though faster and more sensitive methods are
needed. The research reports include such aspects as the European
experience with disposing of old chemical weapons, the requirements
and organization of analytical control, the application of some
modern sample introduction techniques and paroplot Q GC column in
analyzing volatile toxic compounds, air monitoring equipment for
destruction facilities with a special emphasis on OCW destruction,
determining organo-fluoro phosphates by liquid chromatography, the
role of remote sensing equipment in air monitoring systems, an
overview of vapor detection and the sate of the art in hand-held
detectors, and non-destructive evaluation techniques. Overviews of
chemical demilitarization plans are appended. Reproduced from
typescripts, some double spaced.
