✦ Synopsis

Analytical pyrolysis methods were applied to the study of evolution of chlorinated thermal decomposition products from organic plastics pigments. The identification of the organic volatile compounds was performed by fast pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. In addition, temperature programmed pyrolysis-mass spectrometry was conducted on samples introduced via the direct inlet probe. Monitoring appropriate molecular ion intensities allowed the formation of the organic products and that of hydrogen halides to be followed as a function of probe temperature programmed to increase at a constant rate.
