Development of multiple cold trap pyrolysis

摘要: Abstract A new pyrolysis—gas chromatography technique, called multiple cold trap (MCTP—GC), has been developed. MCTP—GC is fundamentally different from other pyrolysis techniques which only characterize the total products when completed and cannot generate time resolved product generation information. In this generated over narrow temperature intervals during are collected individually in an array of cryogenic traps. Each fraction represents a “thermal slice” that provides information on evolution specific at temperature. The data can be used to calculate kinetic parameters complex reactions, such as thermal cracking kerogens, coals, solid bitumens, polymers biopolymers. instrument described here detail allows automated analysis samples incorporates several innovations provide increased reliability ease maintenance.
