Abstract
A fast sample preparation method for the trace determination of some e xploxives, by-products and degradation compounds in water by capillary gas chromatography is described. It is based on multiple extractions of the water sample with sub-milliliter amounts of solvent and subsequ ent concentration of the unified extracts by reducing its volume to a few microliters according to Dunges. The most suitable solvent was met hyl-tert.-butylether. With electron caption detection and an aqueous s ample volume of 25 to 100 ml, the determination level is in the pg/ml range.
