Yh. Shi et al., Studies on microwave plasma torch atomic emission detector and its response characteristics for gas chromatography, CHEM J CH U, 19(11), 1998, pp. 1739-1742
The present paper deals with a microwave plasma torch atomic emission detec
tor for gas chromatography, argon was used as the carrier and support gas,
oxygen as scavenger and sheath gas, respectively, The response characterist
ics of the MPT-AED for carbon in organic compounds was studied. The effect
of oxygen sheathing on the detection performance for carbon was discussed.
