RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Chemical classification of explosives A1 Zapata Arráez, Félix A1 García Ruiz, Carmen K1 Classification of explosives K1 chemical classification K1 individual explosive molecules K1 oxidizer-fuel explosive mixtures K1 analytical chemical determination K1 Chemistry K1 Química AB This work comprehensively reviews some fundamental concepts about explosives and their two commonly used classifications based on either their velocity of detonation or their application. These classifications are highly useful in the military/legal field, but completely useless for the chemical determination of explosives. Because of this reason, a classification of explosives based on their chemical composition is comprehensively revised, discussed and updated. This classification seeks to merge those dispersed chemical classifications of explosives found in literature into a unique general classification, which might be useful for every researcher dealing with the analytical chemical identification of explosives. In the knowledge of the chemical composition of explosives, the most adequate analytical techniques to determine them are finally discussed.
