REACTOR OR AUTOMOTIVE EFFLUENT COLLECTOR FOR CHROMATOGRAPHIC SAMPLING

COLLECTION OF A SAMPLE CONTAINING ADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF ALL THE PYROLYSIS AND OXIDATION PRODUCTS IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT PROBLEMS IN THE STUDY OF AUTOMOTIVE EFFLUENT. THE PRODUCTS RANGE FROM WATER TO CARBON MONOXIDE TO POLYCYCLIC HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS BENZOPYRENE, AND THERE IS NO ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENT AVAILABLE WHICH WILL MEASURE THE CONCENTRATION OF EACH COMPONENT ACCURATELY. THE SAMPLING SYSTEM OUTLINED HERE CAUSES LITTLE INTERRUPTION IN THE NORMAL EFFLUENT FLOW. THE FIXED GASES AND THE CONDENSED SUBSTANCES ARE SAMPLED SIMULTANEOUSLY AND CHANNELED INTO SEPARATE COLUMNS. THE OPERATION OF THE SAMPLING SYSTEM IS ILLUSTRATED DIAGRAMMATICALLY.
