Abstract

Abstract The catalytic oxidation in air of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), a nerve gas stimulant, has been studied over laboratory-prepared Pt/Al 2 O 3 as a function of Pt loading (0.5 or 2.0%) and temperature (150, 250, or 400 C). At 250 C and residence time of 0.69 s, carbon balances indicate that 90-95% of the C atoms in the DMMP feed were completely oxidized to CO 2 during the periods when DMMP destruction was> 99%(50 h for the 0.5% ...
