Abstract

A single photon ionization, molecular beam sampling, reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (SPI/MBTOFMS) has been developed and used to study pyrolysis products from a selection of biomass materials. Spectra are characterized by high resolution and decreased fragmentation compared to electron-impact ionization mass spectra from related molecular beam mass spectrometer systems equipped with quadrupole mass analyzers.
