DESCRIPTION OF THE USE OF DETERGENTS TO CATALYZE OR INHIBIT THE DESTRUCTION OF VARIOUS RIOT CONTROL AGENTS.
Abstract
THIS COVERS A STUDY OF DETERGENTS THAT CAN HELP IN THE RAPID REMOVAL OF THE VARIOUS RIOT CONTROL AGENTS FROM URBAN AREAS UNDER MILD CONDITIONS. DISCUSSED IS THE NUCLEOPHILIC DESTRUCTION OF AGENTS SUCH AS O-CHLOROBENZYLIDINEMALONONITRILE (CS) AND PHENACYL BROMIDE (CN). IT WAS SHOWN THAT THE DESTRUCTION OF THESE AGENTS IS CATALYZED BY CATIONIC, BUT INHIBITED BY ANIONIC DETERGENTS. THE OPPOSITE EFFECT IS OBSERVED FOR THE SCHIFF BASE N-BENZYLIDINEANILINE.
