Degradation of toxic organophosphates on the surface of composite adsorbents

Materials based on TiO2 nano particles with grapheme oxide prepared by means of unique methods developed at ÚACH can bind and inactivate dangerous organophosphates (e.g. Sarin, Soman, VX) on their surface.


Using in situ infrared spectroscopy we studied processes on the surface of adsorbents, proved their high efficiency and described the mechanism of adsorption and degradation that provide key information for the development of new highly effective detoxification means of protection for people, equipment, and buildings.
