From page 205...
... Molten salt systems might also be used as afterburners and for acid gas removal. Another variation would be to complete gas oxidation by supercritical water oxidation.

... 3. Initial weapons disassembly and agent detoxification and partial omdation could meet international treaty demilitarization requirements and eliminate the risk of catastrophic agent releases during continued storage.

From page 207...
... Alternative afterburner options include external heating, catalytic combustion, molten salt, or supercritical water oxidation. Afterburners can be designed to meet requirements for contaminant oblation for both baseline and alternative processes and are essential in control of waste gas purity.
