Abstract
The operational detection of trace quantities of explosive vapors and products of their degradation (EV) in air is a complex analytical problem. High demands placed on device sensitivity and selectivity are dictated by a rather low vapor pressure of the compounds, their high adsorption power and interfering components present in air in large quantities. Ion mobility increment spectrometer (IMIS) is one of the instruments of those satisfying these requirements.
Like an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS), the operation of IMIS rests on sampling air containing a mixture of trace constituents, its ionization, spatial separation of produced ions and separated ions detection. IMIS differs from IMS in that ions of different types are separated in IMIS by ion mobility increment that depends on electric field strength.
In this work we investigated the possibility of the selective registration of vapors of 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, pentaerythritol tetranitrate 1,3-dinitrobenzene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene with the aid of IMIS with different humidity of air, in the presence of vapors of gasoline, diesel fuels, ammonia. The calculated detection limit, sensitivity, linearity and speed of response of IMIS on detecting vapours of the above-mentioned compounds have been determined.
