A Modified Baseline Incineration Process for Mustard Projectiles at Pueblo Chemical Depot Appendix A Description of Pueblo Chemical Depot Stockpile The entire inventory of munitions at the PCD contains mustard agent. Most projectiles contain agent HD, which is distilled β,β′-dichloroethyl sulfide. Some contain HT, a 60:40 eutectic mixture of HD and bis[2-(2-chloroethylthio)ethyl] ether. All munitions may contain manufacturing by-products or impurities, degradation products, and inorganic residues Table A-1 lists the kinds and numbers of munitions in the Pueblo Stockpile.
