Abstract
A stable, several centimeters-long luminescent column is easily formed by a hydrogen-air mixture ascending through a glass capillary toward a glow-sustaining flame on top (which combusts the excess hydrogen with auxiliary air as a flame ionization detector). This encased glow can be used for the photometric determination of gas Chromatographic effluents of sulfur and phosphorus, in what may be termed a “reactive-flow detector” (RFD). The RFD behaves in many -though not in all- respects similar to the well-known flame photometric detector (FPD). This manuscript reports analytical figures-of-merit for an RFD prototype that are as good as, or better than, those of a typical FPD.
