Filed:

Oct 23, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/693194

Inventors:

Carrie Delcomyn - Lynn Haven FL, US
Michael Henley - Panama City FL, US

Assignee:

Applied Research Associates, Inc. - Albuquerque NM

International Classification:

C11D 3/395

US Classification:

510372, 510110

Abstract:

The disclosed invention is a method for the production of a universal decontaminant solution comprised of at least one oxidant and halide salt for neutralizing chemical toxicants that include organosulfur and organophosphorus-containing compounds, such as those found as pesticides, herbicides, or chemical warfare agents, as well as providing disinfection capability against viruses, bacteria, spores, fungi, toxins, and those classified as biological warfare agents. The overall generation and application of the decontaminant solution creates an unexpected synergistic effect toward rates of detoxification, whereas in most cases where the same oxidants were used individually, the same result would not be achieved. A method for the in situ generation of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite by a monopersulfate compound and alkali metal chloride salt is also described.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A universal decontamination formulation and method is disclosed based on the in situ generation dioxirane(s) under non-corrosive neutral conditions for the neutralization of chemical and biological warfare (CBW) agents. The composition relates to the generation of dioxiranes by mixing a monopersulfate-containing compound in the presence of a ketone in water buffered with a carbonate-type buffer, producing a pH neutral formulation that provides effective reactivity towards CBW agents over a wide range of temperatures.

Abstract:

A waste management and resource recovery system that uses the different waste streams from typical waste sources as fuel or feedstock for its subsystems that, in turn, produce fuel, feedstock or energy for other subsystems such that all the different waste streams are effectively managed. The subsystems include a gas burner for solid and fuel wastes that supplies heat to a hydrothermal processor for saccharification of paper and cardboard. The resulting saccharification broth, along with kitchen wastes and blackwater, are supplied to a bioreactor using dark fermentation to produce hydrogen and volatile fatty acids. The hydrogen and volatile fatty acids are supplied to hydrogen and microbial fuel cells to produce electrical energy for operating the system and potable water. A steam accumulator is added to provide sufficient temperatures and pressures to reach the necessary thermodynamic states for the saccharification process. An enzymatic saccharification processor may also improve the saccharification process.
