摘要:
The decontamination of various materials is disclosed. A composition provided for this purpose includes a peracid or salt thereof selected from an imidoperacid of general formula (I), wherein n is an integer from 3 to 8, and R1, which is the same or different in each -CHR1- group, is an alkyl or phenyl group, and a diperacid of general formula (II), wherein p is an integer from 2 to 10 and R2 has the same definition as R1; and a quaternary ammonium-type cationic surfactant. The peracid may be combined with the surfactant to form an ammonium percarboxylate. Said composition is useful for decontaminating materials contaminated with organosulphur or organophosphorus compounds.
