The physical problem is the extraordinarily low solvability of mustard in water. Investigators who have determined rate constants for mustard hydrolysis carried out their studies in mixed solvents, such as aqueous acetone (Bartlett and Swain, 1949; Yang et al., 199Oc)

As discussed above, the rate of reaction at the HD surface appears to be fast enough to prevent significant diffusion of HD into the aqueous phase. Even though HD solubility may increase with temperature, corresponding increases in reaction rates may still prevent penetration into the aqueous phase of dissolved HD.

This method for bringing mustard into effective contact with sodium hypochIorite suffers a disadvantage in that the amount of the waste streams generated is increased. A typical m~croemuIsion is composed of about 50 percent water and 50 percent organic compounds.
