The Use of a Pyrochemiluminescent Nitrogen Analyzer as a Capillary GC (Gas Chromatograph) Detector.
Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the feasibility of interfacing a pyrochemiluminescent nitrogen analyzer to a high resolution glass capillary gas chromatograph. The instruments used were a Varian Model 3700 gas chromatograph and an Antek Model 703C pyrochemiluminescent nitrogen analyzer. Known standards of nitrogen containing compounds were prepared in shale derived jet propulsion fuel that had been previously determined to have no nitrogen containing species. These solutions were then chromatographed on the GC/CLD system. The resulting data were reduced using relative response factors with an internal standard. The nitrogen content of the standard solutions were validated by analyses on a separate Antek nitrogen analyzer used to determine total nitrogen content. The method of GC/CLD was deemed feasible. However, it is recommended that appropriate design changes be made to the Antek Model 703C nitrogen analyzer to accommodate the type of flows common with capillary gas chromatographs. Keywords: Flame Ionization Detector.
