Summary
A conventional pyrolysis gas chromatography system has been adapted to the analysis of vapours. A Curie point pyrolysis wire is used as a holder for granular active carbon on which the sample can be adsorbed. Desorption is achieved in the pyrolysis unit, but no pyrolysis occurs. The present study reports on the completeness of adsorption by the sampler and on the degree of release of adsorbate from it.
