Scope
Description
We require a state-of-the-art GC-MS that will enable the quantitative analysis with highest sensitivity of: (i) on-line and off-line analysis of exhaust gases downstream of a selective oxidation
and reduction chemical processes, including H₂, CO₂, C₁, C₂ and C₂ hydrocarbons, NH₃, N₂, and O₂; (ii) microplastic- and biomass-derived degradation and reformation molecular products (alcohols, sugars in liquid phase). The instrument will require separated columns for (i) and (ii). Moreover, we require an extended warranty.
