TGA integration system with FTIR/GC-MS

该申请是为了支持购买热重分析（TGA），并将升级的传输系统安装在油砂工程实验室中。具有升级传递系统的TGA将与我们现有的傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）和气相色谱-质谱（GC-MS）相结合，成为同时定性和定量分析分子物种及其与固体表面相互作用的独特设备。通过升级后的传输系统将TGA与FTIR和GC-MS结合起来，将为油砂椅更新项目的研究提供机会，研究油砂加工过程中不可避免的矿物固体吸附的有机污染物，这些污染物不利于油砂沥青提取效率和泡沫质量，导致油损失到尾矿中。

This application is to support the purchase of a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with the upgraded transfer system to be housed in the Oil Sands Engineering laboratory. The TGA with the upgraded transfer system will be integrated with our existing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), to become a unique facility for simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis of molecular species and their interactions with solid surfaces. The hyphenation of TGA with both FTIR and GC-MS via the upgraded transfer system will provide an opportunity to support research in the Oil Sands Chair renewal program, studying organic contaminants adsorbing on unavoidable mineral solids during oil sands processing, which is detrimental to oil sands bitumen extraction efficiency and froth quality, leading to oil loss into tailings.
