ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES BY MEANS OF THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY.

Abstract

This report describes the chromatographic analyses on thin layer plates of several polynitroaromatic explosives from their corresponding decomposition residues after heat treatment at elevated temperatures. Explosives studied include treatment at elevated temperatures. The explosives included: sym-trinitrobenzene (TNB), picramide (PAM), diaminotrinitrobenzene (DATB), aminohexanitrobiphenyl (PIPAM), aminohexanitrobiphenyl (DIPAM), nonanitro-m-terphenyl (NONA), dodecanitroquaterphenyl (DODECA), and hexanitrostilbene (HNS). The results of the analyses are believed to be accurate to within + or - 5%. (Author)
