PYROLYSISGAS CHROMATOGRAPHY

The methodology of analytical pyrolysisGCMS has been known for several years but is seldom used in research laboratories and process control in the chemical industry This is due to the relative difficulty of interpreting the identified pyrolysis products as well as the variety of them This book contains full identification of several classes of polymerscopolymers and biopolymers that can be very helpful to the user In addition the practical applications can encourage analytical chemists and engineers to use the techniques explored in this volumeThe structure and the functions of various types of pyrolyzers and the results of the pyrolysis–gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric identification of synthetic polymerscopolymers and biopolymers at 700°C are described Practical applications of these techniques are also included detailing the analysis of microplastics failure analysis in the automotive industry and solutions for technological problems
