Abstract

Incineration is an effective way of destruction of chemical warfare agent. Increased threat of chemical warfare stockpile has renewed interest in their combustion chemistry. However, due to high toxicity of chemical warfare agents, experiments to study their combustion chemistry are carried out using organo phosphorous simulants. In this study kinetics study of oxidation of tri-ethyl phosphate (TEP) was carried out in a shock tube. Laser absorption spectroscopy was used to measured intermediate species (carbon monoxide) time histories. TEP is a simulant of Sarin-GB, a very toxic nerve agent which is used as a weapon of mass destruction. The intermediate CO time history data during TEP oxidation reported in this study will be useful in validation of kinetic models of organo phosphorous compounds and chemical warfare agents such as Sarin-GB.
