In this study, near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX) content in gunpowder absorbent powder. The beaker filled with mixed liquor samples was placed above the window of spectrometer light source to directly record the spectra. Three optimum spectral intervals, including 908-945 nm, 1094-1253 nm and 1577-1678 nm, were chosen to construct the model by the analysis of NIR spectra of pure solid RDX and samples. Through comparison of different spectral preprocessing method, the optimum pretreatment method of SNV+ 1st+ smooth was selected. A quantitative chemometrics model based on the characteristic spectral regions of RDX was established using the partial least squares (PLS). The results show that the determination coefficient (R2cv) of crossvalidation is 0.987 9, the root mean square error of crossvalidation (RMSECV) is 0.242 0, and the root mean square error of predication (RMSEP) is 0.212 7. In addition, the average relative error of prediction is 0.566 1%, and the time for determination is less than 25 seconds. In conclusion, the analysis method can provide technical support for continuous and automatic production of gunpowder.
