Abstract:

The paper describes the design of the original functional sample of portable device for rapid analysis of energetic materials and critical management of its application. The portable device has been designed and implemented and it is consisting of two parts (the original microcolon miniaturized liquid chromatograph and unique chemiluminescence detector). This portable apparatus is capable to selectively identify the majority of military explosives in trace concentrations in water or soil (based on nitramines and nitroesters or inorganic nitrates) in a very short time. The total identification time of extracts is less than 8 minutes.
