STUDIES OF THE MUSTARD GAS - PAINT SYSTEM. PART 1 - THE EVAPORATION OF MUSTARD GAS FROM PAINT FILMS

Abstract

Wind-tunnel studies were conducted to determine the evaporation kinetics of liquid drops of mustard gas (HD) from painted and nonpainted surfaces. The evaporation process was divided into two characteristic periods: The first, the exposed-liquid-surface period, is the period in which liquid HD is exposed to the atmosphere. The second, the sorbed-liquid period, is that in which all of the remaining HD resides within the absorbent paint film.
