Rapid Prediction of ANFO Based Explosives through ATR-FTIR Analysis – Use of ATR-FTIR in Explosives
Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO) is preferred mining explosives in worldwide. It is composed of ammonium nitrate (94-96%) and liquid hydrocarbon as fuel oil (4-6%), which is detonated through an explosive charge. In India, Forensic Science Laboratories received many criminal cases from investigation agencies for chemical analysis of sample as semi-solid materials supposed to be explosive material. In the present study, we developed an Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) procedure for easily analyzing the real crime exhibits related to ANFO based explosives. Firstly, semi-solid material is directly used on the ATR. Further, the sample is extracted using appropriate solvents (diethyl-ether/acetone). Extracts are subsequently analyzed on ATR-FTIR in comparison with standards for ammonium nitrate and diesel. The residue after acetone extract is dried and left solid material directly used on ATR for the detection of water-soluble compounds. The results significantly showed the presence of ammonium nitrate with the residue of diesel in a real crime exhibit. Hence, the proposed modify procedure can be advantageous for the rapid detection of diesel components mixed in ammonium nitrate through ATR-FTIR spectroscopy without the use of other chemical or instrumental analysis in a short period of time and also for easily identifying the presence of organic explosives (if any) among different samples received for the forensic opinion.
