Trace determination of isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GB) and bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide (HD) in chemical neutralization solutions by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

摘要

Chemical neutralization is being explored as an alternative to incineration for a variety of demilitarization programs. Analytical methods are needed to detect and quantify residual agent in reaction masses produced from chemical neutralization to verify destruction of the agent and to clear a reaction mass for further processing. This paper describes the development and validation of gas chromatography-mass spectral methods for the trace determination of the chemical warfare agents isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GB) and bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide (HD) in solutions of the agents chemically neutralized with ethanolamine.
