Synthesis and characterization of TiO₂/Mg(OH)₂ composites for catalytic degradation of CWA surrogates

Abstract

Surface catalyzed reactions can be a convenient way to deactivate toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and remove them from the contaminated environment.

Effects of the ZrO2 Crystalline Phase and Morphology on the Thermocatalytic Decomposition of Dimethyl Methylphosphonate

“…Thermocatalytic decomposition involves using catalysts to reduce the activation energy and carrying out flameless combustion at lower ignition temperatures. The toxic molecules in the contaminated air adsorb onto the active sites of the catalysts, which results in a series of chemical decomposition effects that generate small molecular compounds such as CO 2 and H 2 O. Thermocatalytic decomposition is widely applicable and efficient, and this purification technology is expected to replace conventional adsorption technologies [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Most studies on the thermocatalytic decomposition of DMMP have focused on using multivalent metal oxides [11][12][13][14].…”

A critical review on emerging photoactive porous materials for sulfide oxidation and sulfur mustard decontamination

“…21 As a result, researchers worldwide have worked tirelessly to develop efficient photocatalysts for HD decontamination. [22][23][24][25] Similarly, sulfoxides are organosulfur-derived important compounds extensively used in agrochemicals, the pharmaceutical industry, and chiral catalysis. 26 One of the most feasible ways of synthesizing sulfoxides is via the oxidation of sulfides, which has been explored extensively.…”
