Evaluation of Tenax-GC and XAD-2 as polymer adsorbents for sampling fossil fuel combustion products containing nitrogen oxides

Tenax-GC and amberlite XAD-2 are porous polymer adsorbents used to sample organic vapors in effluents from fossil fuel combustion technologies. Experiments determining the efficacy of the two adsorbents are summarized. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis indicates that Tenax-GC would be mo...

Description
Summary:Tenax-GC and amberlite XAD-2 are porous polymer adsorbents used to sample organic vapors in effluents from fossil fuel combustion technologies. Experiments determining the efficacy of the two adsorbents are summarized. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis indicates that Tenax-GC would be more suitable than XAD-2 for the sampling of stack effluents from fossil fuel combustion.
