Thermionic detectors in gas chromatography

Analytical Aspects of Amino, Quaternary Ammonium, Nitro, Nitroso and Related Functional Groups

“…In such cases element-specific detectors may be of help, as they greatly simplify complex chromatograms. These detectors have been reviewed 6,29,30 including ones that respond specifically to nitrogen-containing species: Alkali flame ionization detector (AFID) 31 33 , flameless alkali-sensitized detector (FASD) 34 38 , chemiluminescence detector (CLD) 39 42 , electrolytic conductivity detector (ELCD) 43,44 and electron capture detector (ECD) 45 49 . A nitrogen-specific chemiluminescence detector (CLND) is based on total conversion of N to NO, which undergoes a chemiluminescent reaction with ozone.…”

Pesticide residues

“…Mellor (262) described the selective detection of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur compounds using a tuned commercial thermionic detector.…”
