Determination of titanium content as principal components 　　Abstract. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric approach（ICP-OES） is used to determine the titanium content as principal component in pyrotechnic compositions used for fireworks and firecrackers. Element of titanium is commonly found in titanium powder in pyrotechnic compositions in fireworks and firecrackers. Statistical analysis shows that titanium content in pyrotechnics is between 3% to 25%. Concept of this method： considering the weight of the sample is 400mg，constant volume is 1L and the concentration of titanium is between 1 mg/L to 100 mg/L in sample solution， the determination scope of the method for the titanium content would be between 0.25% to 25%.Further experiments proved that the fitting correlation coefficient of titanium calibration curve is 0.9996 or higher， recovery is 100.06%-105.30%.The allowable differential value is 0.4% between two single tests under repeatable conditions. This method can completely satisfy the requirements of the fireworks and firecrackers industry with high accuracy and good precision. 　　Keywords： fireworks and firecrackers；pyrotechnic compositions；principal component；titanium content；determination； inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric approach；ICP-OES. 　　Introduction 　　In China， fireworks and firecrackers are very important consumer recreational products in people’s everyday life since ancient times.Gorgeous colors produced by fireworks and firecrackers are even the leading role of foiling festal atmosphere in every grand holiday celebrations.In recent years， with the rapid development of global trade， fireworks and firecrackers are becoming more and more popular all over the world， more and more consumers are fascinated by different kinds of pattens，pictures，and sound effects of fireworks and firecrackers.Pyrotechnics used to produce various kinds of pyrotechnic effects in fireworks and firecrackers are consists of
