Title: Gas chromatographic determination of carbon monoxide in air

Abstract

This article shows how a flame ionization detector can be used to monitor methane, which has been catalytically converted from carbon dioxide. Nichrome wire is used as the catalyst. The test sample is fed into a chromatographic column, packed with CaA zeolite, which is installed in a thermostat at 80/sup 0/C. The separated gas mixture then enters the reactor where, at a temperature of 300-325/sup 0/C, the carbon monoxide is converted to methane in a stream of hydrogen, which also acts as the carrier gas and is used for operation of the flame ionization detector. The described method can be used to determine the content of the carbon monoxide in atmospheric air, the air in manufacturing plants, and the discharges from process furnaces, catalytic process reactors, gas-powered compressors, and afterburning furnaces.
