Trace identification of organic moleculses in ultrapure water using Ion Mobility Spectroscopy

Conference ·
OSTI ID:219458

Preliminary laboratory investigations have indicated that Ion Mobility Spectroscopy is capable of detecting many of the contaminants found in UPW systems. The sensitivity and response time meets the requirements for UPW monitoring. Minor hardware and software modifications must be made for on-line use, and the instrument must be tested for robustness, stability, reproducibility, and similar parameters. Resolution issues between the reactant ions and some target species must still be addressed.
