Characterization of coal-derived liquids and other fossil fuel related materials employing mass spectrometry. Quarterly report, September 30, 1976--December 29, 1976. [9 refs]
A two-part report is being prepared that assesses both the current state-of-the-art in mass spectral analysis of alternate fossil fuels and the needs of technical personnel for characterization data. To acquire the requisite information for preparation of this document, discussions were held with appropriate individuals at the Pittsburgh, Morgantown, and Bartlesville Energy Research Centers, Gulf Research, and Exxon Research and Engineering Company. An evaluation of commercially available data acquisition systems suitable for use with the CEC 21-110B double focusing mass spectrometer was made. This study resulted in both the selection and development of specifications for the components for the basic data system; provision has been made for future hardware and software expansion. The status of the comparator/microdensitometer was determined and procedures were initiated to make it mechanically functional. Study of the dependence of field ionization sensitivities for mixtures of saturates and aromatics was conducted, in part, under this contract. Modification of the FI/EI ion source to operate in the FD mode and construction of ancillary equipment was supported, in part, by this contract. Programs for processing micromolecular probe distillation data have been made operational on the OSU IBM 370/158.
