Trace Detection of RDX, HMX and PETN Explosives Using a Fluorescence Spot Sensor
1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), the major components in plastic explosives, pose a significant threat to public safety. A quick, sensitive, and low-cost detection method for these non-volatile explosives is eagerly demanded. Here we present a fluo-spot approach, which can be employed fo...
متن کاملA fluorescence turn-on mechanism to detect high explosives RDX and PETN.
Detecting hidden explosive devices in war zones and transportation hubs is a pressing concern. Current efforts have focused on sensing three commonly used powerful explosives: 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) (Chart 1). The need for ultratrace detection of these low-volatility compounds has resulted in an intense interest...
متن کاملThe Fate of Nitroaromatic (tnt) and Nitramine (rdx and Hmx) Explosives in Fractured and Weathered Soils
We investigated the fate of explosives compounds in slurries containing fractured and weathered soil particles. Three soils were crushed with a piston to emulate detonation-induced fracturing. We used X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and gas adsorption surface area measurements to quantify the mineralogies and surfaces of the weathered and fractured soil particles. Soil batch slu...
متن کاملBiodegradation of the cyclic nitramine explosives RDX , HMX , and CL - 20 Fiona
Cyclic nitramine explosives are synthesized globally mainly as military munitions, and their use has resulted in environmental contamination. Several biodegradation pathways have been proposed, and these are based mainly on end-product characterization because many of the metabolic intennediates are hypothetical and unstable in water. Biodegradation mechanisms for cyclic nitramines include (a) ...
متن کاملOptimized thermal desorption for improved sensitivity in trace explosives detection by ion mobility spectrometry.
In this work we evaluate the influence of thermal desorber temperature on the analytical response of a swipe-based thermal desorption ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) for detection of trace explosives. IMS response for several common high explosives ranging from 0.1 ng to 100 ng was measured over a thermal desorber temperature range from 60 °C to 280 °C. Most of the explosives examined demonstra...
