Hydrogen halide, combustion analysis

The Dohrmann DX 20B system is based on combustion of the sample to produce the hydrogen halide, which is then swept into a microcoulometric cell and estimated. It is applicable at total halide concentrations up to lOOOpl-10 with a precision of 2% at the lOpg L-1 level. The detection limit is about 0.5pg L-1. Analysis can be performed in 5 min. A sample boat is available for carrying out analysis of solid samples. The instrument has been applied to waste waters, soils and sediments.
