International Classification:
A61L 2/20
US Classification:
422292, 588312
Abstract:
Hydrogen peroxide is vaporized () and mixed () with ammonia gas in a ratio between 1:1 and 1:0. 0001. The peroxide and ammonia vapor mixture are conveyed to a treatment area () to neutralize V-type, H-type, or G-type chemical agents, pathogens, biotoxins, spores, prions, and the lip-,e. The ammonia provides the primary deactivating agent for G-type agents with the peroxide acting as an accelerator. The peroxide acts as the primary agent for deactivating V-type and H-type agents, pathogens, biotoxins, spores, and prions. The ammonia acts as an accelerator in at least some of these peroxide deactivation reactions.
