Extraction and Analysis of Low Molecular Weight Alcohols and Acetone from Fire Debris Using Passive Headspace Concentration

Passive headspace concentration was utilized for recovering methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and acetone from materials commonly found in fire debris. Gas Chromatography/Flame Ionization Detection was used for screening the extracts, followed by Gas Chromatography/Ion Trap Detection to confirm the pre...

Description
Summary:Passive headspace concentration was utilized for recovering methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and acetone from materials commonly found in fire debris. Gas Chromatography/Flame Ionization Detection was used for screening the extracts, followed by Gas Chromatography/Ion Trap Detection to confirm the presence of an alcohol or acetone with mass spectra.
