Abstract
Stable isotopes of chlorine have great application potential due to the widespread occurrence of the chlorine anion in water, minerals, living organisms and the environment. In most studies, the chloride ion from the samples is converted to chloromethane, which is then analysed isotopically using a mass spectrometer. In the present study, a new design for a chloromethane preparation line is proposed. In particular, the new chloromethane preparation line uses a new system for injecting iodomethane into the preparation system, as well as ampoules with Teflon valves and the u-shaped freezers. These improvements reduced the preparation time to about 1 h, and also achieved a decent measurement uncertainty of 0.05 permil.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
