Calibration Of Flame Ionization Detector For Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, Nahid Jabalameli
Theses
Relative Responses and Calibration Factors were developed for several volatile organic (mostly chlorinated) priority pollutant species in order to use one single stable compound (e.g.Benzene) for daily instrument calibration. This would replace the procedure of using a standard mixture of target compounds (25-35). This is of particular advantage because the standard mixture may not have all species stable or may show loss of some components relative to others due to wall adsorption in the standard (compressed gas) stainless steel cylinder.
The use of a single standard species was made possible by developing "accurate" relative response and calibration factors of all …
