Abstract: Optimization of conditions for baseline separation of diphenylamine (DPA) and its nitro and nitroso derivatives by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography is performed. Chromatographic resolving of N-nitroso DPA, mononitro DPA, N-nitroso-mononitro DPA, dinitro derivatives and some N-nitroso-dinitro derivatives of DPA but also some other components of gunpowder and rocket propellants (dinitrotoluene, nitroglycerine and phthalates) is achieved with no influence on quantitative determination of effective stabilizers, DPA and N-nitroso-DPA. The method is optimized for estimation of chemical stability of nitrocellulose based powders and rocket propellants and selected parameters are in accordance with AOP48 Ed.2 method regarding to resolution and maximum column temperature.

Keywords: Diphenylamine, gunpowder, propellant, HPLC, liquid chromatography, AOP48 Ed.2
