Title:
Environmentally Sound and Safe Military Munition Demilitarization
Report Date:
2017-09-25
Abstract:
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has conducted two green, low-cost, multi-cycled, closed-loop, environmental friendly, chemical demilitarization processes for pyrotechnic-smoke munitions. The developed demilitarization successfully recovered all components from the pyrotechnic smoke compositions for commercial resale, as well as all solvents for recycling. The demilitarization process eliminated the environmental footprint of hazardous materials while simultaneously maximizing the reduction in operational costs. The two demilitarization processes segregated and recovered greater than 65% of all pyrotechnic-smoke materials from the bulk formulations. Simultaneously, all solvents were recovered and used in subsequent cycles of the green, closed-loop, environmentally friendly demilitarization process.
