Abstract: | The metabolic fate of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in a mixed culture incubated under methanogenic conditions was studied. Analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) confirmed the loss of RDX and the formation of mono-, di-, and trinitroso-RDX as transient biodegradation intermediates. An additional peak observed in the HPLC chromatograms was identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry as hydroxylamino-dinitroso-1,3,5-triazine. This is the first report identifying hydroxylamino-dinitroso-1,3,5-triazine as a transient intermediate produced during the anaerobic biodegradation of RDX. |
