For the past decades, Thailand has suffered from the major threats of the
improvised explosive devices. Without effective knowledge of the commonly used
explosive materials in such region, further investigations toward the explosive
incidents have become much more difficult. This work has been performed as a part
of building up information of one of the most commonly used explosive materials,
i.e., emulsion explosive, which mainly contains N, C and O. Because the
identifications of the traced elements play an important role to separate their origin
of productions1, this study therefore employed the synchrotron-based techniques, i.e.,
XRF and XANES, in order to identify such elements. The results proved that a set of
Ti, Ni, and Cr detections are necessarily needed to completely categorize 4 types of
emulsion explosives out of 6. In addition, this work elucidates the forms of chlorine
which has previously been reported |
