Abstract
Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has recently been gaining attention due to its low cost, light weight, durability, versatility, and portability. IMS combined with time series analysis (TSA) has proved useful for identification of individual chemical species. These methods require the vapor pressure concentration to vary independently with respect to time. When sampling vapors are obtained from liquid mixtures, the analyte vapor compositions may not vary independently. A vapor mixture may be resolved by differential cleardown rates in IMS instruments. Cleardown is the decay in analyte signal when the sample is removed from the instrument. If different mixture components exhibit different affinities in the instrument, then the concentration of the mixture components will vary independently during cleardown, and SIMPLISMA, a feature extraction method, may resolve the components. This approach is an example of reverse frontal chromatography for which the sample is introduced into the detector (the IMS) and removed chromatographically by adsorption onto the molecular sieves. In this research, mixtures of three nerve agent simulants are used to demonstrate this new data extraction method with SIMPLISMA.

Ruohong Sui, Amin S. Rizkalla and Paul A. CharpentierCrystal Growth & Design2008 8 (8), 3024-3031In situ ATR-FTIR spectra were collected during the sol−gel synthesis of Si, Ti, and Zr oxides in scCO2. Because of overlapping of the IR peaks, it was difficult to directly correlate the optical absorbance with the analyte concentrations. To solve this ...
