Abstract
The use of biotechnologies allows to carry out the soil and sewage purification from trinitrotoluene (TNT), nitrobenzene acid and other aromatised nitro compounds with the help of specially selected cultures of micro-organisms. Inoculation with a culture of such micro-organisms allows to decrease an initial concentration of TNT in the soil of 1.4 mg/g down to the concentration of 0,06 mg/g within 14 days. It is necessary to use the enzymlinked immunologic methods for the operative control of the utilised process. A polymer carrier has been synthesised for this purpose with active absorbing qualities and specific electrical qualities. A method for the registration of the interaction between the carrier and treated materials is worked out.
