Formaldehyde is an important industrial chemical. It is ranked 25th overall in United States chemical production and is predicted to…
When carbon monoxide (CO) is stored under high pressure in a steel gas cylinder, it reacts slowly to form iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5), a volatile impurity. To test this, we obtained a sample of spectroscopic-grade carbon monoxide from the local university’s…
Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) and proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) are techniques that offer real-time analysis for volatile organic…
