Optimization of platinum filament micropyrolyzer for studying primary decomposition in cellulose pyrolysis

In this study, a systematic and quantitative analysis of the yield and composition of primary decomposition products produced during pyrolysis of cellulose using a platinum filament type micropyrolyzer was performed. It demonstrates the importance of proper selection of the operating conditions for the filament type micropyrolyzer. A method was developed to optimize micropyrolysis operational parameters with respect to maximizing the yield of certain primary decomposition products, more specifically, levoglucosan. The results indicate that composition and yield of the pyrolysis vapors are highly sensitive to any parameter which directly or indirectly affects heat transfer during micropyrolysis. In this regard, filament type micropyrolyzers were shown to be more sensitive than microfurnace based micropyrolyzers. Parameters which have to be considered for method development and optimization in filament type micropyrolyzers are sample size, pyrolysis temperature, difference between actual (i.e. sample) and set-point (i.e. filament) temperature, sample particle size and the potential occurrence of cold spots in the system, promoting condensation. With proper parameter selection and optimization, yields in primary decomposition products are similar to microfurnace pyrolyzers with good repeatability.

Direct determination of manganese in vitamin-mineral tablets using solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

Manganese in vitamin-minerals tablets was determined by solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (SS-ETAAS) using three different calibration methods, namely calibration against aqueous standards, standard addition with aqueous standards on solid samples and calibration against solid certified standards. Samples were only finely ground and introduced directly into the furnace by means of solid autosampler system without any dissolving process. Effects of different calibration techniques, temperatures and heating rates of atomization and pyrolysis steps on the accuracy and precision of the analyte elements were investigated. After optimization of the experimental parameters, there is good agreement (at 95% confidence level) between the results obtained by solid sampling and those obtained by acid digestion of samples.     

D-Sorbitol Physical Properties Effects on Filaments Used by 3D Printing Process for Personalized Medicine

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a process used to manufacture oral forms adapted to the needs of patients. Polyethylene oxide (PEO) filaments were produced by hot melt extrusion (HME) to obtain a filament suitable for the production of amiodarone hydrochloride oral forms by FFF 3D printing. In order to produce personalized oral forms adapted to the patient characteristics, filaments used by FFF must be controlled in terms of mass homogeneity along filament. This work highlights the relation between filament mass homogeneity and its diameter. This is why the impact of filler excipients physical properties was studied. It has been showed that the particle’s size distribution of the filler can modify the filament diameter variability which has had an impact on the mass of oral forms produced by FFF. Through this work it was shown that D-Sorbitol from Carlo Erba allows to obtain a diameter variability of less than 2% due to its unique particle’s size distribution. Using the filament produced by HME and an innovating calibration method based on the filament length, it has been possible to carry out three dosages of 125 mg, 750 mg and 1000 mg by 3D printing with acceptable mass uniformity.

An improved (“thermocouple-feedback”) pyrolysis-GLC technique and its application to study polyacrylonitrile degradation kinetics

An improved pyolysis-GLC unit has been designed in which a micro-thermocouple is spotwelded to the pyrolysis filament. The thermocouple output is used as a feedback signal to control the power supply to the filament. Fast temperature rise-times (0.02–0.1 s) and stable filament temperatures (better than ± 1°) have been achieved in this way. The system has been used to study the pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile throughout the temperature range 300–800°. It was found that for samples of the order of 1 μm thickness (2.5 μg total mass) the degradation behaviour was independent of sample thickness. Total available yields of the six principal products and two uncharacterized products were measured as a function of temperature. Conversion curves and logarithmic plots permitted first-order rate constants to be evaluated at several temperatures, and Arrhenius parameters have been calculated from the results. Various mechanisms consistent with the results have been proposed.     

Detection and quantification of traces of bisphenol A and bisphenol S in paper samples using analytical pyrolysis-GC/MS

In this paper a simplified method based on analytical pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) for the detection and quantification of bisphenol A and bisphenol S in paper samples is presented. The method enables a direct analysis of the samples without tedious sample preparation. As the analytes are thermally desorbed, a solvent extraction is not needed. The method is applicable to small samples of ~120 μg. The limits of detection are below 1 mg kg(-1) for bisphenol A and for bisphenol S. The limits of quantification are about 1.3 mg kg(-1). Several validation characteristics of the method developed like standard error of calibration, limit of determination, linearity, and accuracy are given. To prove the accuracy of the method, interferences and matrix dependencies were also investigated. The influence of the pyrolysis crucibles, a special effect of analytical pyrolysis, was additionally investigated. It was found that the impact of the crucibles on the results is significant and one cause for matrix effects.

Macrokinetic model of pyrolysis of carbonaceous feedstock in a tubular reactor

A macrokinetic model of pyrolysis of carbonaceous feedstock in a tubular reactor was proposed. It was shown that, under unsteady-state conditions (at oscillating temperature of feedstock heating), higher conversions can be reached in comparison with steady-state conditions, which agrees with experimental data on flash pyrolysis of biomass in a tubular reactor during heating–cooling cycles.     

Rhodium as permanent modifier for atomization of lead from biological fluids using tungsten filament electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

Rhodium (Rh) was investigated as a permanent modifier for the atomization of Pb from biological fluids in W-filament atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Heating the W-filament with a Rh solution provided a protective coating for subsequent determinations of Pb in blood and urine matrices. The W-filament AAS instrumentation used was based on a prototype design that utilized self-reversal background correction scheme and peak area measurements. We found that Rh not only stabilized Pb during the pyrolysis step, but also facilitated the removal of carbonaceous residues during the cleaning step, requiring much less power than with phosphate modifier. Thus, the filament lifetime was greatly extended to over 300 firings. Periodic reconditioning with Rh was necessary every 30 firings or so. Conditioning the filament with Rh also permitted direct calibration using simple aqueous Pb standards. The method detection limit for blood Pb was approximately 1.5 μg dl⁻¹, similar to that reported previously. Potential interferences from concomitants such as Na, K, Ca and Mg were evaluated. Accuracy was verified using lead reference materials from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the New York State Department of Health. Blood lead results below 40 μg dl⁻¹ were within ±1 μg dl⁻¹ of certified values, and within ±10% above 40 μg dl⁻¹; within-run precision was ±10% or better. Additional validation was reported using proficiency test materials and human blood specimens. All blood lead results were within the acceptable limits established by regulatory authorities in the US. When measuring Pb in urine, sensitivity was reduced and matrix-matched calibration became necessary. The method of detection limit was 27 μg l⁻¹ for urine Pb. Urine lead results were also validated using an acceptable range comparable to that established for blood lead by US regulatory agencies.     

The maximum superheating of butadiene rubber

The rates of thermal decomposition and maximum superheatings of butadiene rubber were measured by the contact thermal analysis method under the conditions of fast sample heating. The results are compared with the literature data on the products of the decomposition of butadiene rubbers of similar chemical compositions under flash pyrolysis conditions obtained by IR Fourier transform spectroscopy.     

Conditions for calibration of an isothermal titration calorimeter using chemical reactions

The reaction of protonation of 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (TRIS) is a suitable one for the calibration of isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC), providing that experimental conditions are appropriately chosen. The conditions and methods for handling experimental data from a nanowatt-ITC are discussed. Also, the binding of Ba²⁺ to 18-Crown-6 is successfully used to check the accuracy and precision of the chemical calibration performed with TRIS. This latter reaction has the additional advantage that the data can also be used for a check on the determination of the value of a binding constant. The anomaly of the first injection in ITC is analyzed and, by combining calorimetric and spectroscopic measurements, it is shown that it mainly results from a backlash effect of the syringe plunger rather than from a diffusion effect.     

Study of the influence of NaOH treatment on the pyrolysis of different leather tanned using thermogravimetric analysis and Py/GC-MS system

This paper presents a study of the influence of a NaOH treatment on leather samples tanned using different tanning agents. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) and flash pyrolysis (Py/GC-MS) was carried out on treated samples, and the results were compared with those obtained with the untreated samples. Treatment with sodium hydroxide seemed to decrease the temperature of maximum leather decomposition rate between 4 and 27 °C, depending on the tanning agent, and increased the range of temperatures where leather degradation occurs. From flash pyrolysis experiments, it was found that the volatile products obtained from NaOH-treated samples contain higher amounts of nitrogen compounds than those obtained from untreated samples. The results of a multivariate analysis applied to pyrolytic products obtained in the flash pyrolysis of samples showed greater similarity between the results obtained in all treated samples than between treated and untreated samples produced with the same tanning process.     

Investigation of various polymeric materials for set-point temperature calibration in pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py–GC–MS)

The precision and long-term stability of pyrolysis probe set-point temperature calibration of a commercially available coiled-filament pyrolyzer were assessed for a variety of polymers, including Kraton^® D1107, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). While plots of peak area ratios for Kraton^® and HDPE versus pyrolysis set-point temperatures produced statistically significant linear curves at the 95% confidence level, poor precision was observed at each of the set-point temperatures. Plots of peak area ratios for LDPE, in particular for n-C₁₆ alkyldiene/n-C₁₆ alkene peak area ratios, also exhibited good linearity but showed significant improvements in precision at each set-point temperature. In addition, replicate analysis over a 10-month period of peak area ratios for polymers pyrolyzed at a set-point temperature of 900 °C confirmed the improved method precision obtained from pyrolysis of LDPE and analysis of the n-C₁₆ alkyldiene/n-C₁₆ alkene ratio when compared to the precision obtained from pyrolysis of Kraton^® D1107 or high-density polyethylene.     

Simplified method for microlitre deuterium measurements in water and urine by gas chromatography-high-temperature conversion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry

Deuterium (2H) in water and urine can be measured by off-line and, more recently, on-line techniques using isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). We describe a new simple on-line pyrolysis method for the analysis of 2H/1H in water and urine samples by continuous flow IRMS, normally used for 2H/1H measurements in organic compounds. A deactivated column connected the split injector to a high-temperature conversion reactor (TC HD), and 0.5 microL of sample was injected. Accuracy and precision were determined with Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW), Standard Light Antarctic Precipitation (SLAP), and Greenland Ice Sheet Precipitation (GISP). The range of linearity was measured with a calibration curve of enriched water from 0 up to 0.1 atom percent excess (APE) (i.e. -72 up to 6323 delta per mil (deltaD per thousand)) with a precision of <5 per thousand and accuracy ranging between 1 and 55 per thousand. Blinded reanalysis of urine samples by an equilibration device (Gas Bench) and by a dedicated pyrolysis system (TC/EA) was performed and results compared by the Bland-Altman test. Enrichments ranged between 600 and 2400 per thousand deltaD(VSMOW) with a precision of +/-5 per thousand. Urine enrichments described by our method were strongly correlated with values obtained by Gas Bench and TC/EA (p < 0.0001). There was a significant memory effect that was reduced by injecting the sample 15 times and discarding the first 10 injections, together with accurate furnace conditioning and appropriate cleaning of the syringe. Data indicate that the method is accurate, and that it can be used for water and urine deuterium determination when a Gas Bench or TC/EA instrument is not available and the amount of sample is limited.     

Determination of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate in ternary mixtures by curie-point pyrolysis gas chromatography coupled to multivariate analysis

Summary Multivariate analysis was used to develop a viable method for determination of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (DBS) by Curie-point pyrolysis gas chromatography. The pyrograms obtained were normalized against a maximum peak area and peak height. Normalized values were used for Quantification IV, which is one of the multivariate analysis methods, to select useful values initially. Then cluster analysis was carried out using both the selected values and their deviations. This method corresponds to qualitative analysis and indicates which data-base is similar to the sample. On the basis of this data-base, calibration data-bases are chosen. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed using the calibration data-base and a set of sample data simultaneously. The principal component scores and contribution coefficients obtained were used to construct a calibration curve from which the DBS content of the sample was calculated. The results are in fair agreement with theoretical values.

Parameters such as sample handling, calibration and accuracy are discussed.     

Pyrolysis of polypropylene: I. Identification of compounds and degradation reactions

Pyrolysis of two polypropylene samples (degrees of isotacticity 0.50 and 0.85) has been carried out by flash pyrolysis and distillation pyrolysis. The analytical coupling of flash pyrolysis, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry allowed the analysis of the degradation products and their evolution with temperature between 500 and 900°C to be followed under different experimental conditions.The mechanism of polypropylene degradation is compared with the radical mechanism of polystyrene degradation.The depolymerization reaction leading to the production of monomer (25%) is not the most important degradation reaction. The transfer reactions predominate and generate the following products: 2,4-dimethyl-1-heptene (27–32%), pentane (ca. 8%), 2,4,6,8-tetramethyl-1-hendecene (7–18%) and 2,4,6-trimethyl-1-nonene (4–10%).
