Rapid on-line analysis for reduced sulfur compounds

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project involves the development of direct sample introduction and on-line measurement strategies for rapid analysis of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) in complex environmental samples, including flue gases and waste waters. It is aimed at the development of on-line analytical techniques for the rapid measurement of pollutants associated with specific industries, such as total reduced sulfur compounds in pulp and paper operations. The work extends the use and application of a membrane introduction mass spectrometry (MIMS) interface based upon coaxial thermal desorption strategies targeted specifically for the real-time measurement of reduced sulfur compounds that are associated with air-quality degradation and odour complaints. The project involves parametric studies and characterization of membrane
