Analysis of the transformation of nitroaromatic compounds in wastewater by bacteria using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography.
A rapid micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatographic method is described for the analysis of nitroaromatic and nitramine explosives using sodium dodecyl sulfate-borate buffer with application to analyze specifically the biodegradation products of trinitrotoluene. The method is fast, in expensive, offers better resolution, and saves on the consumption of organic solvents used in a comparable reversed-phase HPLC method.
