Abiotische en Biotische Afbraak van 2,4,6-trinitrotolueen in Grond en Water. Literatuurstudie en Aanbevelingen voor Analytisch Onderzoek (Abiotic and Biotic Degradation of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene in Soil and Water. Literature Review and Recommendations for Analytical Method Development).
Abstract
The pollution of soil and water with explosives and related compounds caused by military activities has been known for a long time. In this report the literature describing the abiotic and biotic transformation of 2,4,6- trinitrotoluene (TNT) and related compounds is reviewed. In recent years progress in understanding the environ- mental fate of such substances has been made from the many studies published in the past. Recent development using microbial processes that could be used for remediation of TNT-contaminated soils and waste waters look promising. Procedures are reviewed for qualitative screening and subsequent quantitation of residues of TNT employing HPLC including analytical holding times of samples, liquid-liquid and solid phase extraction and recovery. Finally the recent use of micellar electrokinetic capillary electrophoresis for the analysis of TNT and related compounds is discussed.
