Abstract Metal compounds containing zirconium were investigated as effective filters for disposal of hazardous materials such as chemical warfare agents. The filters were fabricated as a circular disk and the zirconium compounds can include Zr(OH)4, ZrO2, and CCH3CO2)xZr(OH)y(x+y ~ 4). Of particular, Zr(OH)4 effectively absorbed sulfur mustard (HD) and released nontoxic chemicals as products. To increase the catalytic effect of zirconium compounds, the whole sample was heated at moderately elevated temperatures of 100 oC. The products of degradation were directely transferred and analyzed by FT-IR and GC-MS. As reference, MgO was used, which showed no effective degradation.
