Abstract
Solid propellant is first placed in a closed container with a solution of water and detergent. A water slurry is then created by injecting compressed air in superheated steam into the solution to place the propellant and solution under several atmospheres of pressure and at the same time to raise the temperature of the solution to 400 DEG -600 DEG F. This results in oxidation of the propellant into such constituents as carbon dioxide, water, nitrous oxide and etc. These constituents are then removed by absorption.
