Improved methods for the treatment of liquid chemical compounds and process systems for practicing those methods are provided. The methods are practiced by spraying the liquid chemical compounds into a matrix bed of heat resistant materials at temperatures sufficiently high to oxidize the chemical compounds. The sprayed liquid chemical compound is preferably heated to its gaseous state prior to contacting the matrix bed. Processing steps for removing coke deposits in the matrix bed are also provided. The methods are particularly advantageous for the destruction of chemical agents and munitions.
