Chemical engineering, carbon dioxide combustion processes

The thermochemical decomposition of organic-chlorine and organic-phosphor CW in oxygen environment (these account for the absolute majority of the Baltic dumped chemical weapons) permits them to be reduced to some easy-to-decontaminate or harmless compounds like carbon dioxide, phosphorus oxides or hydrogen chloride, sulphur oxides. The processes take place in combustion chambers at 3,000-3,500°C and a pressure of several MPa, using methods traditional for liquid-propellant rocket engines. The end combustion products of other CW might be additionally condensed to trap the hazardous compounds.
