Blank spaces indicate a non-detect. (b) Probably a mixture of alkane hydrocarbons which may include hexane together give absorbances similar to hexane. (c) Concentration of detected compound in FTIR cell calculated using MCOMP analytical routine. (d) Concentration of detected compound in flue gas calculated by dividing in-cell concentration by the concentration factor (see Section 4.6.5). |
