Abstract
The effects of the ionization source activity, sample input rate, electron capture rate constant, ventilation rate constant and baseline frequency on the linearity, detectability and sensitivity of the constant-current electron-capture detector (CC-ECD) were investigated. The proposed model representing an extension of the Wenthworth-Lovelock model proved to be useful in demonstrating that the CC-ECD can be highly nonlinear for strong electron capturers, at high ionization source activities, at a low ventilation rate constant and at low baseline frequencies. Optimization of the CC-ECD operation is possible by a reasonable adjustment of the studied parameters.
