Abstract
Due to the changed political situation in the world and a number of intergovernmental agreements came into effect for recent years many States of the world community including Ukraine faced with the problem of the liquidation of considerable reserves of solid missile fuels, propellants and explosives. In so doing, their direct liquidation by explosion or direct danger for the personal life.
At the same time, as our performed investigations have shown there is a principle possibility to carry out highly effective microbiological destruction of the mentioned materials by the special micro-organism strains. The process runs in aqueous medium under moderate conditions and results in the obtaining of explosion-proof substance which can be used in different fields of civil production sector, in particular, as our specialists have checked, as a component in biomineral fertiliser production. Further development of the works in this direction is planned on such main section as the choice of more effective industrial strains of the destructing micro-organisms adapted to various kinds of solid explosives and missile fuels, the development of a technology for explosive material dispersing, the development of a industrial technology and equipment for their microbiological destruction, the creation of the product utilisation processes for biodestruction in the biomineral fertiliser, lacquer and paint material, polymer composition and others production.
