The major energy
components of double-based gunpowder are nitrocellulose (NC) and
nitroglycerin (NG). In double-based gunpowder NG is used as a
plasticizer and, at the same time, as an energetic component. Since
the amount of NG in the gunpowder strongly influences and affects
its chemical and mechanical properties or/and characteristics, the
study of NG content is of great importance. The aim of this paper is
to compare the analytical performances of high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) and classic analytical volumetric method for
the separation and qualitative determination of nitroglycerine in
smokeless gunpowder.
Key words:
double-base gunpowder, nitroglycerine, Soxhlet extraction, high
performance liquid chromatography, volumetric method
