The primary processes in the photodissociation of 1,3-butadiene, 1-butene, hydrazine and acrolein are investigated by direct detection of the fragments in a mass spectrometer at pressures of 10-4mm Hg in the reaction chamber. The light of a pulsed high pressure argon flash lamp is focussed into a molecular beam inside the ion-chamber. A definite wavelength-range of this light continuum is selected by the transmission limit of the quartz optic and the absorption bands of the molecules under investigation. With the special technique used here, collisions do not occur during the time between photon impact and primary product detection. The resulting primary photodissociation fragments are as follows:a) butadiene: C3H3 + CH3; C4H5 + H; C2H4 + C2H2; C2H3 + C2H3; C4H4 + H2b) 1-butene: C4H7 + H; C3H5 + CH3; C2H4 + C2H4; C2H5 + C2H3c) hydrazine: N2H3 + H; NH2 + NH2d) acrolein: C2H2CHO + H; C2H4 + CO; C2H3 + HCO.The probabilities for these different dissociation modes are derived from the measured ion spectra of the neutral photodissociation fragments that are produced by electrons of different energies. A comparison is made with results of photolysis at higher pressures and some conclusions concerning the original excited state of the parentmolecules and fragment energies are discussed.

AbstractA quadrupole mass spectrometer was used to study the thermal release of mercury from wet flue gas desulphurization (WFGD) gypsum using temperature-programmed desorption/decomposition (TPD). The inability in direct detection of low concentrations of mercury halogenides in gypsum by mass spectrometry is discussed in detail. The hydrolysis of HgCl2 vapours under specific experimental conditions in the mass spectrometer was considered theoretically and proved experimentally. The mercury concentration in different gypsum fractions varies from 0.22 mg kg-1 (3.27-148 μm, coarse particles) to 20.6 mg kg-1 (0.41-88.0 μm, fine particles). All samples had a similar, symmetrical, single-peak (peak maximum 253–266°C) in the TPD spectra. In the present study, the use of ‘wet’ methods for preparing mercury compounds is introduced in addition to the mercury standards prepared using the ‘dry’ method, as commonly found in TPD. The study showed that selected metals, such as Fe enriched in gypsum samples, significantly influence the shape and the maximum temperature of the Hg TPD curves and that during the mercury compound preparation and the TPD process, Hg species undergo transformations that prevent the identification of their original identity.
