“…SFE/GC with organic modifiers has been used to analyze explosives from solid matrices (Francis et al, 1995) Improved selectivity and sensitivity were obtained using a hyphenated technique including SFE and SFC: this method facilitates the analysis of explosive materials at pg levels. The separation of explosives prior to MS analysis with SFC has been demonstrated (McAvoy et al, 1999).…”

“…SFC-APCI-MS provides a rapid and definitive method for explosive analysis providing sufficient sensitivity for application to casework samples. On interfacing with chromatographic system, the sensitivity was further increased (McAvoy et al, 1999). The HPLC-APCI-MS method to analyze peroxide explosives like HMTD and TATP has been applied successfully for analyzing peroxides in the bulk state or from post-blast extracts (Xu et al, 2004b).…”

In recent years, explosive materials have been widely employed for various military applications and civilian conflicts; their use for hostile purposes has increased considerably. The detection of different kind of explosive agents has become crucially important for protection of human lives, infrastructures, and properties. Moreover, both the environmental aspects such as the risk of soil and water contamination and health risks related to the release of explosive particles need to be taken into account. For these reasons, there is a growing need to develop analyzing methods which are faster and more sensitive for detecting explosives. The detection techniques of the explosive materials should ideally serve fast real-time analysis in high accuracy and resolution from a minimal quantity of explosive without involving complicated sample preparation. The performance of the in-field analysis of extremely hazardous material has to be user-friendly and safe for operators. The two closely related ion spectrometric methods used in explosive analyses include mass spectrometry (MS) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). The four requirements-speed, selectivity, sensitivity, and sampling-are fulfilled with both of these methods.

“…Compared to other existing methods, SFE is a rapid, conve-nient, efficient, and selective method for detection of explosives in post-explosion residues (Wang et al 2003). Addition of an appropriate modifier to the CO 2 and choice of different columns have made the analysis of explosives possible by SFC (McAvoy et al 1999). …”

'Supercritical fluid' describes a gas or liquid at conditions above its critical point. A greater range of solvent properties can be achieved with Supercritical fluid as a single solvent by careful manipulation of temperature and pressure at the supercritical state. Supercritical fluids are attractive media for several chemical reactions having better control over the reaction rates in different areas of biochemistry, polymer chemistry and environmental science. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), a rapid, convenient, efficient, and selective method has been used successfully for the separation of analytes prior to supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), which is a relatively recent chromatographic technique and is commercially available since 1982. SFC significantly reduces the usage of organic solvents and wastes by using supercritical CO 2 as the mobile phase. The important principles of green chemistry that are applicable to green chromatography includes prevention of waste, use of safer solvents and increasing energy efficiency. All these factors are taken care of in SFC which combines some of the best features of HPLC as well as GC. Analytes that cannot be vaporized for analysis by gas chromatography or have no functional groups for detection by the usual liquid chromatography techniques, can be separated and detected using SFC. By now SFC has been applied to wide variety of materials including natural products, pharmaceuticals, foods, pesticides, herbicides, surfactants, polymers and polymer additives, heavy metals, fossils fuels, petroleum, explosives and propellants. SFC has now become an attractive alternative for chiral drug separation.

“…To overcome these disadvantages, a traditional extraction method has been replaced by other methodologies such as steam distillation extraction (SDE) [7], supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) [8], solid-phase extraction (SPE) [9], solid-phase micro extraction (SPME) [10], solvent micro extraction [11], single-drop micro extraction (SDME) [12], hollow fiber based liquid-phase micro extraction (HFLPME) [13], micellar extraction and cloud point extraction (CPE) [14,15]. The detection of phenolic compounds using above mentioned extraction methods can be usually carry out by one of the following analytical techniques: spectrophotometry [16], gas chromatography (GC) [17], high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [18], capillary electro chromatography (CE) [19], supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) [20], electrochemical biosensors [21] and electrophoresis [22]. In recent times, CPE has been recognized as important and practical applications in analytical chemistry due to its simple, effective and environment-friendly behavior.…”
