ABSTRACT:
A treatment method for containers of hazardous materials, including chemical and conventional weapons, is described. The method is applicable to munitions containing explosives and chemical warfare agents, and to training or test rounds. The containers are subjected to a highly corrosive fluid which dissolves all or part of the container and renders the containers useless as munitions. The highly corrosive fluid may render the hazardous material non-hazardous. The result of the treatment is a liquor which can undergo further treatment for recovery or disposal.
