Abstract :
Investigations into the use of capillary zone electrophoresis with indirect UV detection for the analysis of small inorganic anions and cations of explosives relevance have been carried out. The intention is to develop a procedure for the detection and identification of ions such as chlorate, nitrate, sulphate, ammonium and potassium. Separate methods for the analysis of anions and cations are described along with estimates of the limits of detection for each method
