Abstract: INTRODUCTION Combining thermal analysis (TA) with gas-analykal techniques significantly enhances the possibilities for correctly interpreting the mechanism of thermally induced reactions, which involve the formation of gaseous species. Several techniques can be used for evolved gas analysis (EGA), ranging from simple, non-specific detection to the more elaborate multidimensional/multifunctional methods, such as gas chromatography (GC), infrared spectroscopy (IR) or mass spectrometry (MS), for gas detection and analysis [1]. While the GC methods were used as early as the 1960s [2], EGA by FTIR was described much later and was used for the analysis of pyrolytic and combustion products. Presently, there are several commercial FTIR systems available that can be coupled to a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), and a broad range of applications have been investigated by this important hyphenated technique [3].

TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of instrument was designed and constructed to measure quantitatively the gas phase species evolving during thermal decompositions, which can be used for understanding the kinetics of thermal decomposition, determining the heats of formation and vaporization of high-temperature materials, and analyzing sample contaminants.
Abstract: A new type of instrument has been designed and constructed to measure quantitatively the gas phase species evolving during thermal decompositions. These measurements can be used for understanding the kinetics of thermal decomposition, determining the heats of formation and vaporization of high‐temperature materials, and analyzing sample contaminants. The new design allows measurements to be made on the same time scale as the rates of the reactions being studied, provides a universal detection technique to study a wide range of compounds, gives quantitative measurements of decomposition products, and minimizes interference from the instrument on the measurements. The instrument design is based on a unique combination of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and modulated beam mass spectroscopy (MBMS) which are brought together into a symbiotic relationship through the use of differentially pumped vacuum systems, modulated molecular beam techniques, and computer control and ...
