Abstract
A qualitative method has been developed for the analysis of red phosphorus found in clandestine methamphetamine manufacturing laboratories. This method converts the red allotropic form of phosphorus into the white allotropic form of phosphorus using heat (The Merck Index—An Encyclopedia of Chemicals, Drugs, and Biologicals, eleventh ed., 1989, p. 1167) from a pyrolysis unit. The pyrolysis unit is interfaced to a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer for positive phosphorus identification.
