Evolved Gas Analysis by Mass Spectrometry

Abstract: Periodic publications have been published that address advances in evolved gas analysis techniques, because the correct interpretation for the mechanism of a thermally induced reaction, involving the formation of gaseous species, is strongly dependent on the characterization of the evolved products.

When the nature of volatile products released by a substance subjected to a controlled-temperature program are online determined, the results allow one to prove a supposed reaction, either under isothermal or under heating conditions.

Very recent analytical applications of evolved gas analysis performed by mass spectrometry, selected among those published in 2012 and 2013, are collected in this review.

Mass spectrometry for evolved gas analysis: An update

Advances in evolved gas analysis (EGA) techniques are periodically reported by our group to provide useful examples of their applications in many different fields. It is actually recognized that anytime is requested a correct interpretation of the thermally induced reaction mechanism, involving the formation of gaseous species, it is strongly recommended the characterization of the evolved products. In this review, recent applications of mass spectrometry for EGA (EGA–MS), selected among those published in 2016 and 2017, are reported to show how the characterization of the nature of volatile products released by a substance subjected to a controlled temperature program allows to prove a supposed reaction, either under isothermal or under heating conditions.

FTIR-evolved gas analysis in recent thermoanalytical investigations

Several analytical instruments (like pyrolyzers, thermobalances, differential thermal analyzers, or calorimeters, and sometimes simply temperature-controlled reactors) can be on-line coupled to infrared spectrometers to perform evolved gas analysis (EGA). Advances in EGA techniques are currently proposed by the scientific literature because the possibility to on-line detect the nature of the released gases or vapors has become fundamental to proving a supposed reaction, either under isothermal or under heating conditions. In this review, recent analytical applications of evolved gas analysis performed by infrared spectroscopy (EGA-IR), selected among those published in the years 2013 to 2015, are collected.
