Identified in roasted coffee by Sullivan et al. (1959), Heins et al. (1966), and Stoffelsma et al. (1968). Merritt et al. (1970) characterized it in roasted but not in green coffee. It is present in the headspace of roasted coffee (Cros et al., 1980 Wang et al., 1983 ), in the headspace of a brew (Shimoda and Shibamoto, 1990a) where it represents 0.67% (GC). Silwar et al. (1986) found concentrations of 0.01 ppm in arabicas and 0.10-0.12 in robustas after simultaneous distillation/extraction, capillary GC using simultaneously flame ionization or flame photometric (for sulfur-selective analysis) detectors (FID/ FPD). With a similar detection method in the GC analysis of the headspace compounds, Guyot and Vincent (1990) found 0.04-0.05 ppm in a roasted healthy arabica and 0.3-0.4 in the stinking quality (see Q.4). Procida et al. (1997) identified dimethyl disulfide in a roasted arabica but in none of the green coffees examined, contrary to their result for dimethyl sulfide (Q.ll). 

Identified by Tressl et al. (1981) after distillation-extraction, separation by chromatography, preparative GC, then capillary GC with either flame ionization or flame photometric (for sulfur-selective analysis) detector. Silwar et al. (1986) after simultaneous distillation-extraction used the two detectors simultaneously for quantifying the sulfur compounds (see Q.14). They found less than 0.01 ppm of this dithiolane in arabicas as well as in robustas. 

Hitachi Ltd. (Instrument Div., Shin Maru Bid. 5-1, Marunouchi Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo, Japan 100). The company offers a laboratory instrument for serial assays of industrial samples in a single unit. The carrier stream is propelled by a piston pump, samples are aspirated into the injector by means of a peristaltic pump. A sophisticated 16-port valve allows combination of sample and reagent solutions to be introduced by the merging zone technique. General purpose instrument for industrial and environmental analysis. Detector systems have to be acquired separately. 

Despite the satisfactory results obtained with these element selective detectors, in most of the studies concerning pesticide analysis, detectors providing... 

Detection in GC The universal detector for TMS and acetate derivatives of sugar alcohols is the flame ionization detector (FID). Linear response of the FID has been established for such an analysis. Detector temperatures in the gas chromatograph vary from 250°C to 300°C.

This type of analysis requires several chromatographic columns and detectors. Hydrocarbons are measured with the aid of a flame ionization detector FID, while the other gases are analyzed using a katharometer. A large number of combinations of columns is possible considering the commutations between columns and, potentially, backflushing of the carrier gas. As an example, the hydrocarbons can be separated by a column packed with silicone or alumina while O2, N2 and CO will require a molecular sieve column. H2S is a special case because this gas is fixed irreversibly on a number of chromatographic supports. Its separation can be achieved on certain kinds of supports such as Porapak which are styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers. This type of phase is also used to analyze CO2 and water. 

Signal processing in mechanical impedance analysis (MIA) pulse flaw detectors by means of cross correlation function (CCF) is described. Calculations are carried out for two types of signals, used in operation with single contact and twin contact probes. It is shown that thi.s processing can increase the sensitivity and signal to noise ratio. 

The electronic block, which includes block of the analysis and registration and control system engines, and block of the source-receiver of acoustic oscillations are universal for any installations of this type. As the source-receiver of acoustic oscillations the ultrasonic flow detector is usually use. It s, as a rule, the serial devices for example y/f2-12. The electronic block contains the microprocessor device or PC, device of the power supply and management of engines... 

Another approach to mass analysis is based on stable ion trajectories in quadnipole fields. The two most prominent members of this family of mass spectrometers are the quadnipole mass filter and the quadnipole ion trap. Quadnipole mass filters are one of the most connnon mass spectrometers, being extensively used as detectors in analytical instnunents, especially gas clnomatographs. The quadnipole ion trap (which also goes by the name quadnipole ion store, QUISTOR , Paul trap, or just ion trap) is fairly new to the physical chemistry laboratory. Its early development was due to its use as an inexpensive alternative to tandem magnetic sector and quadnipole filter instnunents for analytical analysis. It has, however, staned to be used more in die chemical physics and physical chemistry domains, and so it will be described in some detail in this section. 

Powder diffraction studies with neutrons are perfonned both at nuclear reactors and at spallation sources. In both cases a cylindrical sample is observed by multiple detectors or, in some cases, by a curved, position-sensitive detector. In a powder diffractometer at a reactor, collimators and detectors at many different 20 angles are scaimed over small angular ranges to fill in the pattern. At a spallation source, pulses of neutrons of different wavelengdis strike the sample at different times and detectors at different angles see the entire powder pattern, also at different times. These slightly displaced patterns are then time focused , either by electronic hardware or by software in the subsequent data analysis. 

Figure Bl.10.2. Schematic diagram of a counting experiment. The detector intercepts signals from the source. The output of the detector is amplified by a preamplifier and then shaped and amplified friitlier by an amplifier. The discriminator has variable lower and upper level tliresholds. If a signal from the amplifier exceeds tlie lower tlireshold while remaming below the upper tlireshold, a pulse is produced that can be registered by a preprogrammed counter. The contents of the counter can be periodically transferred to an online storage device for fiirther processing and analysis. The pulse shapes produced by each of the devices are shown schematically above tlieni.

By inserting a semiconductor x-ray detector into the analysis chamber, one can measure particle induced x-rays. The cross section for particle induced x-ray emission (PIXE) is much greater than that for Rutherford backscattering and PIXE is a fast and convenient method for measuring the identity of atomic species within... 

Figure Bl.24.1. Schematic diagram of the target chamber and detectors used in ion beam analysis. The backscattering detector is mounted close to the incident beam and the forward scattering detector is mounted so that, when the target is tilted, hydrogen recoils can be detected at angles of about 30° from the beam direction. The x-ray detector faces the sample and receives x-rays emitted from the sample.

Another approach to multielemental analysis is to use a multichannel instrument that allows for the simultaneous monitoring of many analytes. A simple design for a multichannel spectrometer consists of a standard diffraction grating and 48-60 separate exit slits and detectors positioned in a semicircular array around the diffraction grating at positions corresponding to the desired wavelengths (Figure 10.50).
