METHOD OF DECONTAMINATION OF INNER SURFACES OF CHEMICAL AMMUNITION FROM RESIDUAL ORGANOPHOSPHOROUS CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS, SUCH AS SARIN AND SOMAN

FIELD: methods of chemical ammunition from residual organophosphorous agents, such as sarin and soman. SUBSTANCE: inner surface of ammunition is treated with reagent composition on base of organic solvent and neutralizing component. Used as neutralizing component is monoethanolamine since it is base for decontaminating compounds used for destruction of warfare chemical agents, such as sarin and soman. It is good practice to use cheap fireproof organic solvents which form homogeneous mixtures with monoethanolamine, namely chlorofom as component for complete dissolving of shellac coat and washing chemical warfare agent off surfaces and near- surface layers. Treatment of inner surface of ammunition after is disarming and decontamination by reagent composition on base of 5-8% solution of monoethanolamine in chloroform provides for dissolving of protective shellac coat of ammunition and solubilizing sorbed chemical warfare agents; monoethanolamine neutralizes them to concentration not exceeding 1.10-5 mg/ml. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 2tbl
