The Determination of Mustard and Thiodiglycol in Mustard Hydrolysate

Abstract

The mustard stored at the Defence Research Establishment Suffield was disposed of by hydrolysis during the 1970's. Samples of the liquid and sludge hydrolysate were analysed by gas chromatography with flame ionization and mass spectral detection for residual mustard and thiodiglycol, the major hydrolysis product of mustard. Trace quantities of mustard were found in two sludge hydrolysate samples. Thiodiglycol was found as a major component in both the sludge and liquid hydrolysate samples. Canada.
