Title: Method for determining a measure of a rate of decay and mass spectrometry system
Inventor: KYLE FORT
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2021-10-29
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for determining a rate of decay and collision cross section of an ion sample in a mass analyser with image current detection (e.g. an orbital trapping Fourier transform mass spectrometer). A detection signal is received from a transient detection of the ion sample using the mass analyser. A measure of the rate of decay of the detection signal is determined based on extrapolating the resolution to an expected resolution of the detection signal in conditions in which the rate of decay over time is dominated by collisional effects. Alternatively, the measure of the rate of decay is determined using an adjustment function (e.g. scaling factor) based on a measure of intensity (e.g. signal to noise ratio or total ion count) and/or a measure of mass to charge ratio (e.g. frequency), both for the detection signal of the ion sample and a detection signal previously obtained for a calibrant. Also disclosed is a fluid connection for selectively introducing gas from a lower vacuum region into a higher vacuum region comprising a mass analyser, to control the pressure within the higher vacuum region.

Title: Scrubbing fluid and methods for using same
Inventor: ERIC TELETZKE
IPC: B01D53/14
Filed: 2021-09-20
Abstract: A scrubbing solution for removing contaminants, including particularly hydrogen sulfide, from a fluid. The scrubbing solution includes at least one scrubbing reagent which has a primary or secondary amine and an acid, which may be phosphoric acid. The fluid being scrubbed is passed through the scrubbing solution. The contaminants react with the scrubbing reagent securing them in the scrubbing solution. The fluid being scrubbed and the scrubbing solution are then separated. The scrubbing solution is heated and, if the scrubbing solution is under pressure, the pressure is reduced. The acid facilitates thorough removal of the contaminants, and especially the hydrogen sulfide, from the scrubbing solution. The scrubbing solution is then ready for reuse. Because the scrubbing solution is rendered substantially free of hydrogen sulfides, it can absorb other sulfide contaminants that might not otherwise be absorbed.
