A heterogenous catalytic system consisting of mechanically alloyed Mg/Pd particles has been used to degrade the peroxide explosive, triacetone triperoxide (TATP). The degradation of the TATP with the Mg/Pd particles (half life of 1.2×101 min) was compared to the degradation with microscale Mg particles (half life of 1.7×103 min) and 10% Pd on activated carbon (half life of 8.7×102 min).
