Evolved Gas Analysis: Hyphenated Techniques

Evolved gas analysis (EGA) describes analysis of gases or volatile components evolved from a sample undergoing thermal analysis. It is often used in direct combination with chemical analysis techniques such as gas chromatography, IR spectroscopy, or mass spectrometry, and/or with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), i.e. measuring the change in weight of the sample under controlled conditions. This book focuses on these so-called ""hyphenated techniques"" (EGA-TGA, TGA-GC/MS, etc.), which allo...
