Thermoanalytical methods are well-established in the field of solid-gas reactions
and compositional analysis, however yielding only an integral information of the
complex processes involved. On-line detection and analysis of gas composition and
all volatiles in sensitive gas analyzers are applied to understand the nature,
chemistry and mechanism of all processes during thermal treatment.

Coupling of
Thermal Analysis and Gas Analysis
Techniques and Applications

Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and Mass spectrometry (MS) are
the preferred methods for a continuous gas analysis in combination with thermal
analysis.
This collection of techniques and applications gives an overview of the state-ofthe-art coupling techniques between thermobalances, simultaneous TG-DSC/DTA
systems and commercial mass spectrometers and FTIR systems. The applications
section features a broad range of organic and inorganic materials and shows the
use of additional information from gas analysis in various industrial processes and
material research.
Quantitative work is well-covered by the calibration of gas analyzers applying
PulseTA®. The transfer of condensable materials through reduced pressure
conditions for FT-IR coupling and in the Skimmer® coupling for MS is discussed.
The specific contributions of internationally renowned authors are highly
appreciated by the team of editors.
