NOVELTY - Dissolution and neutralization of solid nitrocellulose propellants and plasticized military munitions comprises: (a) placing (101) plasticized munitions or nitrocellulose propellant or equipment or soil containing plasticized munitions or nitrocellulose propellant in container; (b) selecting (102) from one of two reaction options; (c) allowing (105) mixture to react; (d) adding sulfur based bulk reductant; (e) evaporating and recovering organic solvent; (f) adding to container to make up for evaporated organic solvent; (g) measuring pH of solution; and (h) adding acid if pH is higher than 8.5.    USE - The method is useful for the dissolution and neutralization of nitrocellulose propellants and plasticized military munitions, thus producing a monosaccharide which is useful for production of biofuel (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method: treats the solid nitrocellulose propellants and plasticized military munitions safely and quickly without having to transport the material to safe location for burning or explosive destruction; is much less expensive than current methods; and is more environmentally friendly and faster process than current methods.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Dissolution and neutralization of solid nitrocellulose propellants and plasticized military munitions comprises: (a) placing (101) plasticized munitions or nitrocellulose propellant or equipment or soil containing plasticized munitions or nitrocellulose propellant in a container; (b) selecting (102) from one of two reaction options, in which the first option (103) consists of (b1) adding a strong base to plasticized munitions in the container or soil containing plasticized munitions or solid nitrocellulose propellant, (b2) adding an organic solvent, and (b3) adding water to mixture, and the second option (104) consists of (b4) adding organic cosolvent to plasticized munitions in a container or soil containing plasticized munitions or solid nitrocellulose propellant; (c) allowing (105) the mixture to react; (d) adding a sulfur based bulk reductant to the mixture to degrade all nitro and amino compounds remaining in solution; (e) evaporating and recovering the organic solvent, as determined by either following the first option or the second option for reuse; (f) adding to the container to make up for the evaporated organic solvent; (g) measuring the pH of solution; and (h) adding an acid if the pH is higher than 8.5 to drop the pH to near neutral.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a process flow diagram for the dissolution and instant neutralization of solid nitrocellulose propellants and plasticized military munitions.    Placing plasticized munitions or solid nitrocellulose propellant or equipment or soil containing plasticized munitions or nitrocellulose propellant in a container (101)    Selecting from one of two reaction options (102)    First option (103)    Second option (104)    Allowing the mixture to react (105)
