Gaseous Dimethyl Dioxirane as a Decontaminant for Simulants of Chemical & Biological Weapons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gaseous dimethyl dioxirane (DMDO) was evaluated as a decontaminant for simulants of chemical and biological warfare agents (CBW). Isolated DMDO was present as a liquid in CFC 113 or the fluorinated ether, Novec HFE 7100TM (3M) and was easily vaporized under reduced pressure. The Hagent simulant, thioanisole, and the G-agent simulants, paraoxon and diphenyl chlorophosphate (DPCP), were efficiently neutralized in less than an hour. In addition, Bacillus subtilis spores were completely deactivated by a 2-hour exposure to 64 μmoles of DMDO.

High-separation efficiency micro-fabricated multi-capillary gas chromatographic columns for simulants of the nerve agents and blister agents
To achieve both high speed and separation efficiency in the separation of a mixture of nerve and blister agent simulants, a high-aspect-ratio micro-fabricated multi-capillary column (MCC, a 50-cm-long, 450-μm-deep, and 60-μm-wide four-capillary column) was fabricated by the application of the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) techniques. Mixtures of chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants - d...

متن کاملGeneration of mono- and bis-dioxiranes from 2,3-butanedione.
Biacetyl reacts with oxone to give bis-dioxirane [3,3'-dimethyl-3,3'-bidioxirane, 3B] and mono-dioxirane [1-(3-methyl-dioxiran-3-yl)ethanone, 3A)]. Bis-dioxirane 3B is formed when two oxygens are incorporated into biacetyl, while mono-dioxirane 3A incorporated only one. A greater stability is observed in 3B compared to 3A, which is attributed to an alpha-dioxiranyl (anomeric) effect in the form...

Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent which has an extensive use in rheumatic disorders. Since its skin penetration is still a subject for research, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dimethyl sulfoxide on percutaneous penetration of piroxicam gel formulation through skin. In this study, as a model, two types of 0.5% piroxicam new gels, so called red and gr...
