Chiral resolution of some environmental pollutants by capillary electrophoresis.
The chiral resolution of the environmental pollutants by capillary electrophoresis is reviewed. Various aspects of the chiral resolution such as chiral selectors, optimization of capillary electrophoresis conditions including composition of the background electrolyte (BGE), pH of the BGE, ionic strength of the BGE, structures and types of the chiral selectors, applied voltage, temperature, structures of the chiral pollutants, use of organic modifiers and other parameters are presented. Furthermore, detection, sample treatment, validation of the methods, and the chiral recognition mechanisms, have been discussed.
