Figure 5 shows the outline of the ionization chamber. The opening on top is the sample gas inlet. The other two apertures are the inlet for the electrons (left) and the outlet for the ionized sample gas atoms (right), respectively. 

If samples are largely pure, single substances, then the sample inlet can be quite simple, as with a direct insertion probe or a gas inlet. However, most analyses require assessment of the number of components, their relative proportions, and their chemical structures. This level... 

Special sample inlet devices such as nebulizers, furnaces, and gas inlets are commonly used to avoid cross-contamination and accidental fractionation of isotopes. 

The retention gap method (1, 2) represents the best approach in the case of qualitative and quantitative analysis of samples containing highly volatile compounds. The key feature of this technique is the introduction of the sample into the GC unit at a temperature below the boiling point of the LC eluent (corrected for the current inlet pressure), (see Eigure 2.2). This causes the sample vapour pressure to be below the carrier gas inlet pressure, and has two consequences, as follows ... 

The solution of the sample to be analysed (1-100 pL) is introduced by inserting the tip of a micropipette through a port in the outer (water) jacket, and into the gas inlet orifice in the centre of the graphite tube. The graphite cylinder is then heated by the passage of an electric current to a temperature... 

A prepolymer is made first by charging Pluracol E2000 [1000.0 g, 1.0 eq., poly(ethylene oxide), 56 OH, BASF] to a suitable container equipped with a mechanical stirrer and a nitrogen gas inlet. Flush the container with dry nitrogen and add Desmodur W (264.0 g, 2.0 eq., 4,4 -methylene-bis(cyclohexyl isocyanate), 31.8% NCO, Bayer). While maintaining a positive N2 pressure on the reaction mixture, stir and heat at 80°C for 2 h. Cool the product to room temperature and check the NCO content (theory = 3.32 %). It might be necessary to warm the highly viscous prepolymer to take samples for titration. To a portion of this prepolymer (250.0 g, 0.2 eq.), add Dabco T-12 (0.25 g, dibutyltin dilaurate,... 

To a stainless steel reactor equipped with a heating mantle, a charging port, a condenser for removing ethylene glycol, an inert gas inlet, and a sampling valve were added 400 g of bis(2-hydroxyethyl)terephthalate, 136 g of ethylene glycol, and 0.035 g (or 0.225 g) of sodium acetate trihydrate. The temperature was raised to between 190 and 200°C in 1 h and then 454 g of waste polyester...

Figure 2. Optical schematic of the chamber for grazing angle measurements. Heaters and one thermocouple are located directly behind the sample (A). Gas inlet and outlet are near the IR transmitting windows (B). The mirrors (C) can be rotated and tilted to maximize signal and eliminate stray light. The entire cell (D) can be translated to change the angle of incidence.

The system used by these workers consisted of a Microtek 220 gas chromatograph and a Perkin-Elmer 403 atomic absorption spectrophotometer. These instruments were connected by means of stainless steel tubing (2mm o.d.) connected from the column outlet of the gas chromatograph to the silica furnace of the a.a.s. (Fig. 13.2). A four-way valve was installed between the carrier gas inlet and the column injection port so that a sample trap could be mounted, and the sample could be swept into the gas chromatographic column by the carrier gas. The recorder (lOmV) was equipped with an electronic integrator to measure the peak areas, and was simultaneously actuated with the sample introduction so that the retention time of each component could be used for identification of peaks. 

As the name implies, the sample is introduced into the mass spectrometer as a gas (Nier 1940). There are two types of sources, the classic viscous flow source and the continuous flow source. The viscous flow source typically consists of two identical inlet systems that are coupled to the mass spectrometer by a change-over valve, which allows rapid switching for comparison of isotope ratios measured for sample and standard gases. In the continuous flow source, samples gas is introduced as a bubble in a non-reactive carrier gas stream.

Fig. 9.4.10 Apparatus for the gas flow-arc plasma method. The apparatus is composed of two components. The upper part is a glass Dewar, which accumulates small particles in a cryogenic matrix on the trim cooled with liquid nitrogen (LN). Sorv, inlet of organic vapor Syr, syringe for transferring produced colloids under anaerobic conditions RP, rotary pump S, target sample. Lower part is for plasma discharge. A BN furnace has gas inlets (G) and is specially designed for Ar gas to flow in screwed stream hence the plasma is emitted in a jet flame due to a plasma pinch effect. The black parts are copper electrodes cooled by water. In order to maintain a constant spacing between the surface of sample and tbe upper electrode, the sample position can move vertically so that the current through the sample to the upper electrode is precisely controlled and constant. This is very important to produce powders with a narrow size distribution.
