Materials that appear stable under normal conditions may release volatile compounds when exposed to elevated temperatures under high-vacuum. This phenomenon, known as outgassing, can result in molecular contamination that affects the performance of optical systems, detectors, sensors, electronic assemblies, and other contamination-sensitive equipment. To evaluate outgassing behaviour in a consistent and reproducible way, laboratories and […]

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is one of the most closely monitored contaminants in sulfur recovery and handling operations. Naturally generated during crude oil and natural gas processing, H₂S is a toxic, corrosive, flammable gas that commonly remains dissolved in liquid sulfur streams after the recovery process is complete. Understanding where it comes from, and why it […]

Biodiesel is becoming an increasingly important alternative fuel, driven by its renewable origin and its potential to reduce environmental impact compared to conventional fossil fuels. As its adoption grows, so does the need for reliable analytical techniques capable of ensuring fuel quality and regulatory compliance. Among the key parameters that must be monitored in biodiesel […]

How can the toxicity of a fire be quantitatively assessed during material combustion? In material texting, evaluating toxic gas release is critical for determining fire performance and potential exposure risks. Analyzing toxic gases and fire effluents enables the quantitative measurement of combustion by-products in accordance with internationally recognized standards, including ISO 19700, IEC 60695-7-50/60695-7-51, and […]

Hyphenated techniques are highly effective instrument configurations for characterizing the evolved gaseous (EGA) species released from a sample during controlled thermal treatment. By combining thermogravimetry (TGA/STA/SDT) with spectroscopy (FT-IR), gas chromatography and spectrometric (GC/MS) methods, hyphenation offers detailed insights into chemical composition, thermal behavior, reaction pathways and decomposition mechanisms arriving at the footprint of your […]
