Dynamite analysis by Raman spectroscopy as a unique analytical tool.

摘要: Apart from powerful explosives, dynamites are complex samples with an intricate analysis. These mixtures of compounds diverse chemical nature present a challenge to the analyst, and as result, several analytical techniques need be applied currently for their Taking into account that presently there almost no methods dynamite analysis in literature, it is crucial develop could these samples. This study introduces use Raman spectroscopy analyze dynamites. Two different made up ethylene glycol dinitrate ammonium nitrate, among other minor components, were analyzed by spectroscopy. First, confocal allowed identification components easily distinguished eye (ammonium dinitrate, sawdust). Then, mapping was used show distribution main throughout mass. Finally, identified after flocculation (nitrocellulose) or precipitation (sawdust, CaCO3, flour). The results obtained demonstrate huge potential this technique such tricky sample.
