The invention provides novel methods of detoxifying highly toxic chemicals, and treating surfaces contaminated, or potentially contaminated, with toxic chemical agents such as chemical warfare agents and/or industrial toxins. The methods employ silver-exchanged zeolites and sodium zeolites as reactive sorbents to degrade such agents or toxins on contact, in solution or vapor form.

A method of decontaminating surfaces exposed to chemical warfare agent, which comprises contacting said surfaces with a sufficient amount of a reactive sorbent comprising silver-exchanged zeolite for a sufficient time to degrade substantially all of said chemical warfare agent, wherein said chemi
1. A method of decontaminating surfaces exposed to chemical warfare agent, which comprises contacting said surfaces with a sufficient amount of a reactive sorbent comprising silver-exchanged zeolite for a sufficient time to degrade substantially all of said chemical warfare agent, wherein said chemical warfare agent is selected from the group consisting of bis-(2-chloroethyl)sulfide, O-ethyl S-(2-diisopropylamino)ethyl methylphosphonothiolate, pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate, isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate, and combinations thereof. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said chemical warfare agent comprises bis-(2-chloroethyl) sulfide. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said chemical warfare agent comprises O-ethyl S-(2-diisopropylamino)ethyl methylphosphonothiolate. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said chemical warfare agent further includes a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, polycarbonate, polystyrene and mixtures thereof, and wherein said chemical warfare agent is present in a concentration from about 90 to about 99 percent by weight. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said silver zeolite reactive sorbent contacts said chemical warfare agent for a time ranging from about 1 minute to about 60 days, and at a temperature ranging from about -30° to about 50° C. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein said silver zeolite reactive sorbent contacts said chemical warfare agent for a time ranging from about 1 minute to about 24 hours. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said silver zeolite reactive sorbent is in a form selected from the group consisting of a powder, pellets, granulates, a slurry comprising a sorbent powder suspended in a compatible solvent, and combinations thereof. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein said granulates further include thickening or gelling agents to aid in the immobilization of standing liquids. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein said compatible solvent is further selected to be miscible with said chemical warfare agent, and said compatible solvent is selected from the group consisting of hexane, fluorohydroethers, alcohols, ethers and combinations thereof. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said silver zeolite has a silver content ranging from about 10 to about 40% wt/wt silver. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said contacting is carried out by a method selected from the group consisting of spraying, rubbing, brushing, dipping, blotting and dusting.
