A novel method for measuring nitrogen‐containing species in combustion effluents

摘要

AbstractA sensitive method is described for the determination of hydrogen cyanide and organic nitriles in atmospheres created by the combustion or thermal degradation of nitrogen‐containing polymeric materials. The technique also allows for the determination of other hydrocarbon species from the same sample using a gas chromatograph‐mass spectrometer system without entailing too many divisions in the sample quantity The method utilizes an NOxanalyzer will only respond to nitrogen‐containing compounds and response factors for these compounds can be calcu
