Abstract:
GC-ICP-MS Analysis of Nickel and Iron Carbonyl in Carbon Monoxide and Syngas Carbon monoxide is an important industrial gas with a wide variety of uses. It is present in many gas mixtures such as Syngas and even mixed with natural gas. Presence of metal carbonyls, particularly nickel and iron can be problematic when gas is used as fuel, semi-conductor modifier, or as a therapeutic medical gas. Heretofore analytical methods have been suspect due the difficulty in calibration and the labile/reactive nature of the analytes. A novel approach has been developed for accurate analysis using GC-ICP-MS.
