Abstract
QinetiQ has performed some preliminary, qualitative studies to identify the types of species produced when potential halon replacement agents are passed through a flaming combustion zone. Initial analysis was performed using an FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red), which allowed identification of some structural components/functional groups present in the compounds. Further analysis to more fully identify the compounds produced was performed by using a GC/MS (gas chromatography with mass spectrometry), which facilitated modification of the injection and method conditions to optimise the analysis across the wide chemical range of compounds investigatedCitation
