Simple distillation temperature monitoring

Variants of TVA are differential condensation TVA [903] and sub-ambient TVA or SATVA [910, 938]. In SATVA the condensable gases and volatile liquids are further fractionated volatile components are collected in gas cells and less volatile liquid fractions are separated and characterised by GC-MS. SATVA consists in the slow, controlled, distillation of the volatile products from the -196°C trap (where they have been collected) as it is heated up to room temperature. As they distil, MS or IR identifies the volatiles and at the same time they are collected in narrow fractions for further analysis. Continuous pressure monitoring during distillation is recorded as a SATVA curve [939]. McGill et al [940,941] have indicated that the very simple technique of trap-to-trap distillation of trace amounts of liquid-nitrogen condensable volatiles can be used for qualitative...
