Chemical Degradation of RDX on Strongly Basic Ion-Exchange Resins,

Abstract

Chemical interaction of RDX on strongly basic ion-exchange resins has been investigated as a method for (1) removal and (2) disposal of RDX from water in a single step. The resin has been evaluated on both laboratory and pilot scales and shows no loss of efficiency after eight regeneration cycles. One cubic foot of resin was found capable of degrading and removing 99% of the RDX contained in 1300 gallons of tap water before regeneration was required. (Author)
