Chemical ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry of chemical warfare agent simulants using laser produced metal ions

Chou, C. ; Long, S.R. - Applied Optics; (USA)

In an initial investigation of the potential utility of chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry of selected analogs of chemical warfare agents using metal ions, the reactions of manganese ions with chloroalkyl sulfides and organophosphonates have been followed in a Fourier transform mass spectrometer. Mn{sup +} ions, produced by UV laser radiation focused on a stainless steel target, react rapidly with each molecule studied to provide characteristic mass spectra. The manganese ion CI mass spectra are compared to mass spectra obtained via electron impact (EI) and methane CI.

On-site analysis of old deposited chemical warfare agents by combined use of ion mobility spectrometry and mass spectrometry

Stach, J. ; Adler, J. ; Brodacki, M. ; ...

The factory site of an old mustard gas plant was investigated with on-site analysis methods. Using ion mobility spectrometry and mass spectrometry a lot of degradation products of mustard gas could be detected. Sulfur mustard was found in one soil sample and in ceramic material of a bunker used for storage of the produced warfare agents. Concentrations of the mustard gas are in the sub ppb level. The results of ion mobility and mass spectrometry agreed in 95 % of the investigated samples.
The application of single particle aerosol mass spectrometry for the detection and identification of high explosives and chemical warfare agents

Martin, Audrey Noreen

Single Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometry (SPAMS) was evaluated as a real-time detection technique for single particles of high explosives. Dual-polarity time-of-flight mass spectra were obtained for samples of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX), and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN); peaks indicative of each compound were identified. Composite explosives, Comp B, Semtex 1A, and Semtex 1H were also analyzed, and peaks due to the explosive components of each sample were present in each spectrum. Mass spectral variability with laser fluence is discussed. The ability of the SPAMS system to identify explosive components in a single complex explosive particle (~1 pg) without the need formore »« less

Investigating the Hydrolysis Reactions of a Chemical Warfare Agent Surrogate. A Systematic Study using ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁷O, ¹⁹F, ³¹P, and ³⁵Cl NMR Spectroscopy

Alam, Todd M. ; Wilson, Brendan W.

During the summer of 2015, I participated in the DHS HS-STEM fellowship at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL, NM) under the supervision of Dr. Todd M. Alam in his Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy research group. While with the group, my main project involved pursing various hydrolysis reactions with Diethyl Chlorophosphate (DECP), a surrogate for the agent Sarin (GB). Specifically, I performed different hydrolysis reactions, monitored and tracked the different phosphorous containing species using phosphorous ( ³¹P) NMR spectroscopy. With the data collected, I performed kinetics studies mapping the rates of DECP hydrolysis. I also used the NMR of different nucleimore »« less

Application of chemical structure and bonding of actinide oxide materials for forensic science

Wilkerson, Marianne Perry

We are interested in applying our understanding of actinide chemical structure and bonding to broaden the suite of analytical tools available for nuclear forensic analyses. Uranium- and plutonium-oxide systems form under a variety of conditions, and these chemical species exhibit some of the most complex behavior of metal oxide systems known. No less intriguing is the ability of AnO{sub 2} (An: U, Pu) to form non-stoichiometric species described as AnO{sub 2+x}. Environmental studies have shown the value of utilizing the chemical signatures of these actinide oxide materials to understand transport following release into the environment.
