... Kalyon, Professor Suphan Kovenklioglu Concomitant Chemical Neutralization of Chemical Ammunitions and Encapsulation of Neutralization Products Using Twin Screw Extrusion This process describes a system for using a neutralizing agent and then encapsulating the products in a polymenc matrix. A mechanical system for accomplishing this is `described.
