ABSTRACT:
Methods of detoxifying chemical warfare agents and decontaminating surfaces which have been exposed to chemical warfare agents are disclosed. The methods include contacting a composition confining a chemical warfare agent or contaminated surface with a sufficient amount of a sorbent which contains an activated aluminum oxide for a sufficient time and under conditions which are sufficient to produce a reaction product which is less toxic than the chemical warfare agent and/or to reduce the contamination of the surface by the chemical warfare agent.
