Abstract:

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is an effective analytical tool in chiral separation. This review article is focused on the major developments in the recent applications of CE to the enantioseparation of the chiral environmental pollutants in the past decade. Developments are classified according to the types of chiral pollutants, i.e. phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides, organophosphorus/organochlorine/pyrethroid pesticides, triazole fungicides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The advances in enantiomeric separation of the above-mentioned chiral pollutants by CE are reviewed. In addition, the emerging chiral pollutants are highlighted and the prospects of CE in the analysis of chiral environmental pollutants are also drafted.

Key words: agrochemicals, chiral environmental pollutants, chiral separation, review , capillary electrophoresis (CE)
