Smetana, Andrew F. | Bulusu, Suryanarayana
The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of chemical degradation of RDX by ultraviolet-ozone process which had been previously developed for eliminating TNT from pink water. A study of UV photolysis at 254, 300 and 350 nm wavelengths, ozonolysis alone and a combination of O3 and UV (350 nm) on aqueous solutions of RDX was undertaken. The results indicate that O3 + UV in combination efficiently degrade RDX to gaseous products. These products are further compared with those obtained by photolysis and thermal decomposition of samples of crystalline RDX.
