Abstract
The properties of various detectors for quantitative gas chromatographic analysis are briefly reviewed. Two equations formulated for calculating quantitative results obtained by microwave plasma emission spectrometry (MES) were applied in this study. The validity of this calculation method without calibration has been examined by employing seven known mixtures consisting of hetero-atomic organic compounds. Matrix effects of different functional groups and hetero-atoms of organic compounds on MES and flame ionization detector (FID) responses were investigated, and an approximately linear relationship between the peak area of each component determined by MES and the elemental content of the respective component was found. FID responses were significantly affected by the hetero-atomic compounds.
