MASS SPECTROMETER STUDY OF METAL-CONTAINING FLAMES

Abstract

The results of slightly over six years of research on the direct, mass spectrometric sampling of one atmosphere flames and related high pressure systems are summarized. The empirical development of the sampling system and related problems in detection and data interpretation are outlined. The major phenomena accompanying direct, molecular-beam sampling were found to be: (1) orifice-system interaction, (2) mass separation, (3) nucleation, and (4) influence of internal energy state on fragmentation pattern. Each of these problems has been explored qualitatively and quantitatively. A number of areas of immediate application of direct sampling to practical and scientific problems are listed together with suggestions for future research.
