Abstract

A method of controlling a hazardous device comprising the steps of providing a combination of a barrage unit and a container for holding a liquid, the container being adapted to receive the barrage unit, the barrage unit comprising at least one pad, the pad comprising an absorbent fibrous material and an absorbent crystalline material; arranging the hazardous device and barrage unit in the container with the barrage unit at least partially covering the hazardous device; and, adding a liquid to the container so that the barrage unit absorbs the liquid.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of controlling a hazardous device comprising the steps of
 providing a combination of a barrage unit and a container for holding a liquid, the container being adapted to receive the barrage unit, the barrage unit comprising at least one pad, the pad comprising an absorbent fibrous material and an absorbent crystalline material;   arranging the hazardous device and barrage unit in the container with the barrage unit at least partially covering the hazardous device; and   adding a liquid to the container so that the barrage unit absorbs the liquid.   
     
     
         2 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the pad is sandwiched between first and second liner layers. 
     
     
         3 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liquid is added to the container before the step of arranging the hazardous device and barrage unit in the container. 
     
     
         4 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the container is a tray. 
     
     
         5 . A method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the tray is a sealed container with the barrage unit pre-packed in the tray. 
     
     
         6 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the container is a bag. 
     
     
         7 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the barrage unit is shaped as a blanket. 
     
     
         8 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the barrage unit is shaped as a pouch for receiving the hazardous device. 
     
     
         9 . A method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the pouch comprises first and second side walls, each side wall comprising the pad. 
     
     
         10 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the absorbent crystalline material is a polymeric material. 
     
     
         11 . A method as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the polymeric material is a superabsorbent polymer. 
     
     
         12 . A method as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the superabsorbent polymer is one or more polyacrylate or polyamide. 
     
     
         13 . A method as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the one or more polyacrylate salt or polyamide salt is one or more metal salt. 
     
     
         14 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the fibrous material is a cellulosic material. 
     
     
         15 . A method as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein each of the liner layers comprises a hydrophilic material. 
     
     
         16 . An apparatus for controlling a hazardous device comprising
 a barrage unit comprising at least one pad, the pad comprising an absorbent fibrous material and an absorbent crystalline material; and   a container for holding a liquid, the container being dimensioned to receive the barrage unit.   
     
     
         17 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the container is a tray. 
     
     
         18 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the container is a bag. 
     
     
         19 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the barrage unit is shaped as a blanket. 
     
     
         20 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the barrage unit is shaped as a pouch. 
     
     
         21 . A method as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the one or more polyacrylate salt or polyamide salt. 
     
     
         22 . A method as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the one or more metal salt is a sodium metal salt or a potassium metal salt. 
     
     
         23 . A method as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the cellulosic material is pulp fibre. 
     
     
         24 . A method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the hydrophilic material is cotton.
