摘要:Sarin (GB) and soman (GD) are severely toxic nerve agents that react slowly in water, resulting in long-term poisoning of the water and a serious threat to personnel. Some ions can catalyse GB and GD hydrolysis in water; the relevant research for GB is detailed, whereas that for GD is relatively less so. In this paper, GD hydrolysis catalysed by hypochlorite (ClO−) ions was studied via kinetic experiments. A fluorite-ion-specific electrode was used to monitor F−ions produced, allowing the rate constant and half-life of the GD hydrolysis to be calculated. The results showed that ClO−ions promote GD hydrolysis well; the higher the concentration of ClO−, the faster the GD was hydrolysed. In NaClO solution at pH 8.0 with 3.22×10–3M ClO−ions, the half-life of GD hydrolysis was 82.5 s, about 875 times shorter than that in water at pH 8.0. The rate constant for catalysis of GD hydrolysis by ClO-ions ++(kc1o−)++ was 2.6 M−1s−1, about one quarter the value of ++koh−++but over 1500 times greater thankBand ++kPO4,++ with B representingN-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N’-2-ethanesulfonic acid present as a free base; this result indicated that ClO−ions catalyse GD hydrolysis well.
