Metal ion-directed carboxylic acid functionalized polyoxometalate hybrid compounds, and their preparation method and applications in catalyzing the degradation of chemical warfare agent simulants. In the synthesis, Na.sub.2MoO.sub.4, p-hydroxybenzonic acid (PHBA), alanine (Ala), KCl, transition metal cations and As.sub.2O.sub.3 as raw materials and water are used as solvent. At room temperature, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) and the prepared polyoxometalate hybrid compounds were mixed together in anhydrous ethanol and stirred, and H.sub.2O.sub.2 was subsequently added into the reaction system. The catalytic reaction for the degradation of CEES was finished within 5 min under stirring. In the catalytic hydrolysis of diethyl cyanophosphonate (DECP), the catalyst, DECP, DMF and H.sub.2O were put together and mixed fully. The prepared polyoxometalate hybrid compounds have the advantages of high conversion, high selectivity and easy recyclability in catalyzing the degradation of two types of chemical warfare agent simulant.

Systems and methods for rendering cannabis-related waste materials are provided. The method may include inserting a plurality of cannabis-related waste materials into, for example, a mobile rendering vehicle. The method may further include physically altering the cannabis-related waste materials such that the cannabis-related waste materials are unrecognizable and unusable. The insertion of the cannabis-related waste materials into the mobile rendering vehicle may be recorded and/or the physical alteration (e.g., pulverization) of the cannabis-related waste materials may be recorded via one or more cameras disposed on the mobile rendering vehicle to verify proper insertion and/or alteration of the cannabis-related waste materials.

In one aspect, a composition for decomposing pharmaceutically active agents comprises an oxidizer comprising a permanganate, and an isocyanurate; and an immobilizer. In another aspect, a composition comprises up to 50 wt. % of an oxidizer comprising potassium permanganate and sodium dichloroisocyanurate dehydrate, wherein the wt. % is based on a total weight of the composition.

Method for minimizing exposure to a noxious substance, the method comprising the step of administering a spray composition to a surface or applying a wipe to a surface contaminated by the noxious substance, wherein the composition in the spray or impregnated into the wipe comprises a polyol fatty ester.

The present disclosure discloses Microbacterium oleivorans capable of degrading polyethylene terephthalate and an intermediate thereof, and belongs to the technical field of microorganisms. The present disclosure provides Microbacterium oleivorans JWG-G2 capable of degrading the polyethylene terephthalate. After Microbacterium oleivorans JWG-G2 is inoculated into an inorganic salt liquid medium containing 2 g/L polyethylene terephthalate plastic particles with an inoculation quantity of 1×10.sup.8 CFU/mL to be cultivated for 5 d, the polyethylene terephthalate plastic particles can be partially degraded into monohydroxyethyl terephthalate and terephthalic acid capable of being directly recycled, ester bond functional groups on surfaces of the polyethylene terephthalate plastic particles can be reduced, and a weight loss ratio of the polyethylene terephthalate plastic particles can reach 5.6%. Therefore, Microbacterium oleivorans JWG-G2 of the present disclosure has an extremely high application prospect in degradation of the polyethylene terephthalate.

Disposal means for large scale efficient disposal of medication and controlled substances comprising a homogeneous mixture of one or more surfactants, aerobic enzymes, anaerobic enzymes, soluble bitterants, insoluble bitterants, colorants, excipients, thickener agents, and humectant. Unwanted medication and controlled substances, such as opioids, are introduced to the solution and rendered inert and/or useless.

Materials for decontamination of compounds having a phosphorous-sulfur bond or a phosphorous-oxygen bond. A porous polymer, such as poly(dicyclopentadiene), contains particles of zirconium hydroxide. The polymer optionally has hydroperoxide groups.

A method of detoxifying a liquid chemical agent is provided using a surface-modified metal organic framework having an amine-based compound deposited on a surface and pores thereof, or bonded to the inside of a frame, wherein when the surface-modified metal organic framework comes into contact with the liquid chemical agent, a reaction with moisture in the atmosphere occurs and, the liquid chemical agent is removed through a hydrolysis reaction, thereby detoxifying chemical agents, such as nerve agents and vesicants, and assuring a high detoxification effect on liquid chemical agents at room temperature even with a small amount of the surface-modified metal organic framework.
