HPLC analysis of nitroaromatic and nitroamine explosive residues
Recent closings of military installations have increased the demand for fast and reliable analysis of nitroaromatic and nitroamine explosives residues in soil, water, and sediment matrices. The compounds being analyzed are either used in the synthesis of explosives or are degradation products of compounds used for that purpose. A reversed phase, HPLC column was developed to allow the quantitation of a large number of explosive compounds in a single, isocratic analysis. The stationary phan is a modification of the commonly used octadecylsilyl (C18) ligand, and gives unique selectivity for nitroaromatics. The column is specifically tested for explosive analysis and is suitable for use with EPA method 8330.
