FUTURES EXPO SERIES
Peroxide Deactivation Lab
Safe deactivation of improvised peroxide baseexplosives
Research Laboratory / Facility
A safe way to deactivate improvised peroxide-based explosive has been an outstanding issue for more than two decades . These materials are used by terrorists and nefarious actors and pose a risk to defence personnel , security , law enforcement , and first responders . This issue is also of international significance .
Laboratory trials have demonstrated the efficacy of a catalytic method on analytical scale , for which a provisional patent has been filed . The next phase requires real-world field trials , to verify the technique . At the successful conclusion to this phase , protocols for use and a kit would be developed .
Investment would help secure industry partners .
