Establishing the Alcohol Nature in Forensic Analysis of Alcohol-Containing Liquids

Abstract

The article presents the results of the adaptation of the spectral-luminescent method for establishing the alcohol nature regarding alcohol liquids of a non-industrial manufacturing based on rectified ethyl alcohol, which are the prevailing objects submitted for forensic examination of materials, substances, and products of alcohol-containing liquids. The authors describe the particularities of sample preparation, the calculation formulas, and the limitations for application of the method. The proposed method has been tested on samples with a known composition.
