Abstract
In this study, manganese dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized in the pores of zeolite 13X by supporting method and its morphology and structure were characterized by SEM, XRD, IR and AAS techniques. Decontamination reaction of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (a mustard agent simulant) was investigated by GC technique. The results of GC analysis showed that 2-CEES was completely absorbed by Nano-MnO2/Zeolite13X composite after 168 hours and converted to less toxic chemical product. Decontamination products formed via hydrolysis were hydroxyl ethyl ethyl sulfide and ethyl vinyl sulfide. Destruction reaction of DMMP nerve agent simulant via 31P NMR analysis showed that this composite after 36 hours demolished almost 32 percent of nerve agent simulant
