Binding of electron-deficient trinitrotoluene (TNT) to the electron rich amine groups on a substrate form specific charge-transfer Jackson-Meisenheimer (JM) complex. In the present work, we report formation of specific JM complex on amine functionalized reduc...

Sensitive ionization of non-volatile analytes using protein solutions as spray liquid in desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

Rapid Commun. Mass Spectrom. 26(23) , 2770-6, (2012)

Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) is the most popular ambient ionization technique for direct analysis of complex samples without sample pretreatment. However, for many applications, especially for trace analysis, it is of interest to improve the sens...

Transport and dissolution of microscale Composition B detonation residues in porous media.

Chemosphere 107 , 400-6, (2014)

The deposition of military explosive residues on training ranges has resulted in extensive contamination of land and water resources. Experiments were performed to examine the transport and dissolution of mm-sized and microscale Composition B (Comp B) residue...

Phytoremediation of explosives (TNT, RDX, HMX) by wild-type and transgenic plants

J. Environ. Manage. 113 , 85-92, (2012)

The large-scale production and processing of munitions has led to vast environmental pollution by the compounds TNT(2,4,6-trinitrotoluene), RDX(hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) and HMX(octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine). Explosives cont...

Comparison of an antibody and its recombinant derivative for the detection of the small molecule explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene.

Anal. Chim. Acta 759 , 100-4, (2013)

Antibodies are commonly used as recognition elements in immunoassays because of their high specificity and affinity, and have seen extensive use in competitive assays for the detection of small molecules. However, these complex molecules require production ei...

Primary blast injury to the eye and orbit: finite element modeling.

Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 53(13) , 8057-66, (2012)

Primary blast injury (PBI) mostly affects air-filled organs, although it is sporadically reported in fluid-filled organs, including the eye. The purpose of the present paper is to explain orbit blast injury mechanisms through finite element modeling (FEM).FEM...

Effect of biostimulants on 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) degradation and bacterial community composition in contaminated aquifer sediment enrichments.

Biodegradation 24(2) , 179-90, (2013)

2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a toxic and persistent explosive compound occurring as a contaminant at numerous sites worldwide. Knowledge of the microbial dynamics driving TNT biodegradation is limited, particularly in native aquifer sediments where it poses...

Direct liquid deposition calibration method for trace cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine using thermal desorption instrumentation.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1282 , 178-82, (2013)

A simple method for establishing calibration curves with sorbent-filled thermal desorption tubes has been demonstrated for nitroaromatic and nitramine vapor samples using a thermal desorption system with a cooled inlet system (TDS-CIS), which was coupled to a...

Water quality criteria for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene.

Regul Toxicol Pharmacol 11(2) , 104-13, (1990)

The occurrence of the munitions compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in groundwater and surface water surrounding U.S. Army ammunition plants may result in contamination of local drinking water supplies. TNT exerts its primary toxic effect in humans on the he...

Modeling the dissolution of various types of mixed energetic residues under different flow conditions.

J. Hazard. Mater. 235-236 , 138-43, (2012)

Energetic residues are scattered around active ranges due to the detonation events and dissolution is usually the first step for the entry of explosive compounds into the environment. The current models for describing the dissolution are subject to limitation...
