Essay

Nowadays the identification and quantitation of unknown organic compounds in their mixtures is a very challenging task. From this viewpoint gas chromatography with atomic emission detection (GC AED) is attractive. It is especially promising for elemental ratio determination in mixture component molecules and for their content determination without calibration, when only one reference compound could be used for all mixture components, and therefore analysis time and cost would be drastically reduced. However, for these purposes it is necessary that AED elemental response factors for individual compounds were independent of compound structure, elemental composition and concentration...[more; pdf file - 79KB]
