MASS SPECTROMETER STUDY OF METAL-CONTAINING FLAMES
Abstract
Further studies of the 'mass separation' phenomena, observed in aerodynamic molecular beams, are reported for a variety of 1% solutes in solvents of H2, N2 and CO2 at one atmosphere. To a first approximation the mass separation favors the heavier molecules by the first power of the molecular weight, for a mass spectrometer detector independent of the solvent or the chemical nature of the solute species. The flame systems CO-O2, C2N2-O2 and CO- N2O are being applied to equilibria where hydrogen would interfere. Sampled gases from a CO-O2 flame with 1% Cl2 added showed only Cl atoms, as predicted, with no recombination to Cl2 during sampling.
