Thermo chromatography:Experimental data Surface chemistry investigations for higher yields Hanna Frånberg
Chemical properties of the product • Volatility • Reactivity • Molecular formation • Adsorption/desorption • Production rates • Half-lives • Etc etc …
Target unit Transfer line Reactions delay Target material Production Diffusion Reactions Ion source Efficiency Reactions Target container Reactions
What and how? • Diffusion studies • Inplantations into target material samples. • Effusionout from the target, through the transfer line and in the ion source. • Study of adsorption/desorption enthalpy • THERMO CHROMATOGRAPHY • Ionizationefficiency in the ion source

Two analysers helps determination of the gases. CsI scintillation detectors helps to determine the half-lives of the species in the traps. Carrier gas (N2) 600 cm3/min Chemical trap
Technical demands • Right temperature for the reactions to occur. • The target needs to ”leak” a certain amounts of Oxygen oxygen rich target for the molecular formation of CO2 and CO. • Target container and transport line in materials that do not thermodynamically favour adsorption. • Ion source with the possibility to handle a molecule.
