Abstract
The chiral resolution of environmental pollutants is an urgent need of today. Therefore, the chiral resolution of the environmental pollutants by capillary electrophoresis was reviewed. Various aspects of the chiral resolution by capillary electrophoresis such as chiral selectors, optimization of capillary electrophoresis conditions [composition of the back ground electrolyte (BGE), pH of the BGE, ionic strength of the BGE, structures and types of the chiral selectors, applied voltage, temperature, structures of the chiral pollutants, use of organic modifiers and other parameters, optimization by dependent variables], detection, sample treatment, validation of the methods and the chiral recognition mechanisms have been discussed.
