Integration with Ionization Detectors in Gas Chromatography

Abstract

THE ionization current of the hydrogen flame ionization detector consists of a standing current and a current depending on the concentration of organic components emerging from the column. The standing current i0 is constant when carrier gas velocity and column temperature are constant throughout the experiment. The ionization current due to organic compounds separated on the chromatographic column is a variable and will be denoted by i(t).
