Analysis of volatile organic compound mixtures using radio-frequency ionization/mass spectrometry†
Abstract
Radio-frequency ionization (RFI) coupled with Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) was used to analyze volatile compounds from bio-oil and commercial gasoline samples. Fingerprinting of bio-oil and gasoline samples was possible using RFI/MS. Differentiation of three gasoline grades was achieved by principal component analysis of RFI/MS data.
