Decontamination and Remediation of the Sulfur Mustard Simulant CEES with “Off‐the‐Shelf” Reagents in Solution and Gel States: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

The decontamination and remediation of sulfur mustard chemical warfare agents remains an ongoing challenge. Herein, we report the use of “off‐the‐shelf” metal salts alongside commercially available peroxides to catalyze the degradation of the simulant 2‐chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) in solution a...

Sumario:The decontamination and remediation of sulfur mustard chemical warfare agents remains an ongoing challenge. Herein, we report the use of “off‐the‐shelf” metal salts alongside commercially available peroxides to catalyze the degradation of the simulant 2‐chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) in solution and encapsulated within a supramolecular gel.
