ABSTRACT:
A method for desensitizing explosive materials consisting of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, comprises contacting the explosive material with a reductant containing no elements besides those contained in the explosive material for a period of time sufficient to desensitize said explosive, and thereafter disposing of said explosive by combustion or other means suitable for a non-explosive solid, e.g., landfill. The method of the present invention possesses important advantages in that it eliminates polluting by-products from prior art reductants and provides energy savings in reduced time and fuel requirements for the combustion of the explosive materials.
