Combination of Pyrolysis with Other Instruments

2 Principle and Methods of Analytical Pyrolysis 4.7.2.1 Combination of Pyrolysis with Other Instruments [Pg.178]

Pyrolysis may be performed using continuous-mode or pulse-mode instruments. In the first instance, the material must be introduced rapidly into the furnace at a predetermined temperature, which is maintained throughout the pyrolysis. Common modem pulse-mode instruments allow very rapid sample heating within a specified time. There are three different types of pulse-mode pyrolyzers [Pg.179]

Curie-point pyrolyzer (high frequency inductive heating of a ferromagnetic carrier). [Pg.179]

A resistance-heated system (platinum ribbon or coil). [Pg.179]

Most of the pyrolysis experiments in the field of natural polymer characterization involve the use of Curie-point instruments or resistance-heating apparatus. Both methods are described in the following sections. Laser pyrolyzers are not yet common in biopolymer analysis and will not be discussed here. [Pg.179]
