Development and application of a microwave-induced plasma emission spectrometric detector for gas chromatography in China

Abstract

Two Chinese-built gas chromatography-microwave-induced plasma emission spectrometry (GC-MIP-ES) systems (Model SG-1) and one imported system (Model MPD-850) were used at the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Academia Sinica (LICP), the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Academia Sinica (SIOC) and the Research Institute of the Shanghai Petroleum Refinery of the Gao Qiao Petrochemical Corporation (SPR). A diverse range of research applications (such as basic chemical reactions, industrial chemical analyses and methodological studies) were investigated at these three institutes. Various selected examples are cited to demonstrate the characteristics of the GC-MIP-ES system.
