As part of a program to assess possible adverse health effects of workers in a new nitramine munitions recrystallization process utilizing dimethyl-sulfoxide, pilot plant samples were analyzed qualitatively for trace organics by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and quantitively for nitramines by high pressure liquid chromatography. None of the variety of trace organics found was related to munitions manufacture or to breakdown of nitramines, and, except for the presence of diacetone alcohol, ...

Optimal methodology for analysis of the possible organic constituents of nitroguanidine production wastewater is reported. Nitroguanidine, nitrosoguanidine, cyanoguanidine, melamine, and ammeline are determined by high pressure liquid chromatography, guanidine by ion chromatography, and cyanamide and urea by spectrophotometric methods.
