Engineering Research Equipment: Gas Chromatograph with DataSystem

这笔设备赠款将用于购买一台气相色谱仪，用于与燃烧和燃料有关的研究项目。该系统将能够接受填充柱或毛细管柱，具有用于气体或液体样品的进样器，并具有接受各种检测器的能力。相关的数据系统将能够自动控制GC并获取长期实验数据。该仪器将用于以下具体项目：氯催化氧化氯化有机溶剂、燃烧合成富勒烯、开发二极管激光器作为危险废物焚烧炉监测器，以及单线态氧氧化芳香族化合物。将首先使用该仪器的项目都在化学动力学领域，并将立即在危险废物销毁或新材料合成等方面有实际应用。

This equipment grant will be used to purchase a gas chromatograph for research projects related to combustion and fuels. This system will be able to accept either packed columns or capillary columns, have injectors for either gas or liquid samples, and have the capability of accepting various detectors. The associated data system will be able to automatically control the GC and acquire data for long- duration experiments. Specific projects for which this instrument will be used are: chlorine-catalyzed oxidation of chlorinated organic solvents, combustion synthesis of fullerenes, development of diode lasers as hazardous waste incinerator monitors, and oxidation of aromatic compounds by singlet oxygen. The projects for which this instrument will be first used are all in the area of chemical kinetics and will have immediate practical applications such as in hazardous waste destruction or in synthesis of new materials.
