Abstract
A thermal destruction reservoir system and a method of using the same to thermally destroy certain chemical and/or biological materials. The reservoir relies upon the use of a sheet comprising potassium perchlorate and iron dispersed in a polymeric binder.
Claims21
A thermal destruction reservoir, comprising:
- an upper and lower section having one or a plurality of wall portions, wherein said upper and lower section each include one or more perimeter mating surfaces and an internal volume encased by said upper and lower sections when said perimeter mating surfaces are engaged to one another;
- said one or plurality of wall portions having a clay coating providing an inner surface in said reservoir;
- at least one sheet comprising potassium perchlorate and iron dispersed in a polymeric binder located within said reservoir internal volume.
A thermal destruction reservoir, comprising:
- an upper and lower section having one or a plurality of wall portions wherein said upper and lower section each include one or more perimeter mating surfaces and an internal volume encased by said upper and lower sections when said perimeter mating surfaces are engaged to one another;
- at least one sheet comprising potassium perchlorate and iron dispersed in a polymeric binder located within said reservoir internal volume wherein said binder comprises poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl acetate)-poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymer, said potassium perchlorate is present in said sheet at a level of 69.0% (wt.) or higher, iron is present at a level of 15.0% (wt.)+/−5.0% (wt.) and the polymeric binder is present at a level of 16.0% (wt.)+/−5.0% (wt.).
A method of thermal destruction of selected chemical and/or biological materials comprising:
- providing a thermal destruction reservoir comprising an upper and lower section having one or a plurality of wall portions wherein said upper and lower section each include one or more perimeter mating surfaces and an internal volume encased by said upper and lower sections when said perimeter mating surfaces are engaged to one another;
- forming a sheet by combining potassium perchlorate, iron powder and polymer binder at a temperature of less than or equal to 35° C.;
- and
- positioning said sheet within said internal volume of said thermal destruction reservoir.
