Abstract
Abstract METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE DETECTION OF TRACE GASES, SUCH AS FOR EXAMPLE ATMOSPHERIC CONTAMINANTS. A GAS SAMPLE SUSPECTED OF CONTAINING A CONTAMINANT IS INTRODUCED INTO A REACTOR CONTAINING A REAGENT WHICH CONVERTS THE CONTAMINANT INTO AN ELECTRON ABSORBER. THE PRESENCE OF THE CONTAMINANT IS DETECTED BY PASSING THE EFFLUENT FROM THE REACTOR THROUGH AN ELECTRON CAPTURE DETECTOR. IF THE GAS SAMPLE CONTAINS OXYGEN THEN IT IS DESIRABLE TO SEPARATE THE OXYGEN FROM THE STREAM ENTERING THE DETECTOR.
