his Sample Collection System permits the purging of
volatiles and semi-volatile components present in solid
materials and their trapping on Desorption Tubes packed
with an adsorbent resin for subsequent analysis by desorption
utilizing the Short Path
™
Thermal Desorption System. Volatiles can
be collected from sample sizes ranging from less than 0.5 gram up
to 20 grams.
This technique for collecting volatiles from samples for
analysis is used:
(1)
To permit the analysis of trace components in larger
sample sizes than could be analyzed by Direct Thermal
Desorption in the Short Path Thermal Desorption System. Soil
samples up to 20 grams can be sampled in the 0.5" diameter
tubes.
(2)
To permit the analysis of volatiles from organic samples
containing high concentrations of water. Water is not retained by
many adsorbents (such as Tenax™) whereas other organic
volatiles would be trapped by the adsorbents. Water interferes with
the GC analysis by forming plugs to block carrier gas flow thru the
GC columns when the GC oven is maintained at subambient
temperatures during the initial desorption of samples into the GC.
(3)
To permit the analysis of volatiles emitted from the
samples at different temperatures by collecting the volatiles onto
Desorption Tubes at increased temperatures. It is therefore
possible to set up studies to determine the temperatures of
emission of volatiles and semi-volatiles from materials such as
carpet fibers, packaging materials, building products, etc.
Samples to be analyzed are placed inside glass or stainless
steel tubes and held in place by glass wool plugs. The system is
designed to sample from 0.5" diameter glass tubes, and also from
0.25" diameter glass tubes with optional adapters. Sample tubes
are 14.0" long each. When ready for sample collecting, the long
tube containing the sample is placed in the sample Collection
Oven, fitted at one end with a supply of carrier gas to flush out the
residues, and fitted at the opposite end with a preconditioned
Desorption Tube with adsorbent resin. The
Oven is set for the desired temperature and the
desired components are collected onto the
Desorption Tubes. Oven temperatures can
range from room temperature up to 250° C.
The temperature used, as well as the time of
sampling, depends on the nature of the
samples being analyzed and the requirements
of the analyst. Soil samples are typically
analyzed at 80° C and sampled for 30 to 60
minutes.
The Sample Collection System consists of
a sample tube oven with ports for four 0.5"
diameter sample tubes. Up to four samples can
be collected simultaneously with the system.
Four rotameters regulate the gas flow thru
each of the samples independently of one
another. A Watlow precision Temperature
Controller provides accurate control of the
temperature of the Sample Collection Oven up
to 250° C. A digital readout indicates the actual
oven temperature. The actual Sample
Collection Oven consists of a large aluminum
plate with holes drilled for the sample tubes
and is heated by cartridge heaters. Heat
transfer to the sample tubes occurs via direct
thermal transfer from the aluminum block to the
sample
tubes.
Temperatures
can
be
maintained within 1% of the full scale reading.
On the front of the Sample Collection System four quick dis-
connect fittings connect to a 1/8” flexible transfer line to provide
gas flow thru each of the sample tubes and Desorption Tubes
during sampling. By providing gas flow from a carrier gas such as
Nitrogen or Helium thru the heated sample tubes and the
Desorption Tubes while sampling, the volatiles and semi-volatiles
will be purged from the sample and will be trapped by the adsor-
bent in the Desorption Tube. A single 1/8” fitting on the back of
the System is provided for the attachment of the gas from its
source.
