When whole cells are subjected to pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) analysis, it provides biochemical profiles containing overlapping signals of the majority of compounds. To determine marker compounds that discriminate embryogenic calluses from nonembryogenic calluses, samples of embryogenic and nonembryogenic calluses of five higher plant species were subjected to Py-GC/MS. Genetic programming of Py-GC/MS data was able to discriminate embryogenic calluses from nonembryogenic calluses. The content ratio of 5-meyhyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarboxaldehyde was greater in nonembryogenic calluses than in embryogenic calluses. However, the content ratio of phenol, p-cresol, and $^1H-indole$ in embryogenic calluses was 1.2 to 2.4 times greater than the ratio in nonembryogenic calluses. These pyrolysates seem to be derived from the components of the cell walls, which suggests that differences in cell wall components or changes in the architecture of the cell wall playa crucial role in determining the embryogenic competence of calluses.

This study investigated the transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in a free-water surface flow constructed wetland. Pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) coupled with preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC) was used to analyze the compositions of biopolymers (polysaccharides, amino sugars, proteins, polyhydroxy aromatics, lipids and lignin) in DOM according to the molecular size at three sampling points of the water flow: inflow, midflow, and outflow. The prep-HPLC results verified the decomposition of DOM through the decrease in the number of peaks from three to one in the chromatograms of the sampling points. The Py-GC/MS results for the degradable peaks indicated that biopolymers relating to polysaccharides and proteins gradually biodegraded with the water flow. On the other hand, the recalcitrant organic fraction (the remaining peak) in the outflow showed a relatively high concentration of aromatic compounds. Therefore, the ecological processes in the constructed wetland caused DOM to become more aromatic and homogeneous. This indicated that the constructed wetland can be an effective buffer area for releasing biochemically stable DOM, which has less influence on biological water quality indicators, e.g., biochemical oxygen demand, into an aquatic ecosystem.

Poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) was pyrolyzed to eliminate acetic acid of VA unit using off-line pyrolysis, and the deacetylated EVA was analyzed infrared spectroscopy (IR) and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). EVA film for deacetylation was prepared by solution casting on aluminum foil and it was pyrolyzed at low temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ in the off-line pyrolysis apparatus. After deacetylation, carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) was formed by 1,2-elimination of the VA unit in the EVA backbone. Most of C=C bonds were trans-1,4-unit and 1,2-unit was also observed. Presence of the 1,2-unit in deacetylated EVA indicates that terminal or branch VA units exist in the raw EVA. Py-GC/MS chromatogram of deacetylated EVA displayed much smaller acetic acid and much more abundant other pyrolysis products than that of raw EVA, which means that the pyrolysis efficiency and separation condition were improved.

The feasibility of waste concrete as a catalyst for the effective pyrolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was examined using thermogravimetric (TG) and pyrolyzer-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) analyses. TG analysis results indicated that the maximum decomposition temperature of PET is not altered by the use of waste concrete, showing similar values (407 ℃ and 408 ℃ at 5 ℃/min). Meanwhile, the volatile product distribution data obtained from the Py-GC/MS analysis revealed that the use of waste concrete promoted the deoxygenation reaction via converting the oxygen containing products such as benzoic acids, benzoates, and terephthalates to valuable deoxygenated aromatic hydrocarbons including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and styrene. This suggests that the waste concrete can be used as a potential catalyst for the production of valuable aromatic hydrocarbons from PET pyrolysis.

고무가황체는 고분자인 천연고무 및 합성고무에 여러 가지 유기첨가제를 배합하여 만든다. 이와 같은 배합고무의 분석은 여러 가지 다른 성질을 갖는 다양한 첨가제들로 인하여 많은 전처리 과정을 거쳐야 하므로 그 분석이 용이하지 않다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 열분해 가스크로마토그래피질량분석법(Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry)을 이용하여 고무가황체 중의 유기 고무약품들의 직접분석을 시도하였다. 점착제인 쿠마론-인덴수지(coumarone-indene resin $C-90^{TM}$), 접착제인 알킬페놀 레조시놀 포름알데히드 수지, 가류지연제 등의 고무첨가제의 열분해과정 및 열분해체들의 질량스펙트럼들을 확인하였고 이를 통하여 복잡한 구성 성분으로 이루어진 가황고무 중에서 이들 배합제의 직접분석이 가능하였다.

Identification of coating film species from ancient coating materials is needed to maintaine their surfaces without loss of their original beauty for a long time and understand the historical background of manufacturing techniques. A pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was applied to identify the origine of films in ancient coating materials. The pyrolysis products, which reflect the source from which they originate were detected distinctively at $500^{\circ}C$. This is a rapid technique that does not require large amounts of sample or any sample preparation. Sesquiterpenes are a class of terpenes that consist of three isoprene units were identified as cadienes, selinenes, cubebenes from the raw material of dendropanax morbifera. On the other hand, alkanes(tetra~heptadecanes), alkenes (tri~heptadecenes), allkyphenols, catechols and fatty acids were detected from the raw material of the lacquer film. Based on these results, the origine of historic coatings artifacts was identified using py-GC/MS by comparison with their pyrolysis products.

Pyrolysis-gas chromatography (Py-GC) in the presence of organic alkali of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) was applied to characterize the polyphenol fragments with a carbonyl group causing different magnitude of photo-yellowing in chemithermomechanical pulp (CTMP) papers. Two different origin of CTMP papers prepared from different individuals of Eucalyptus globulus trees showing high and low yellowing after photo-irradiation was compared before photo-irradiation. As a result, 7 peaks assigned to a series of phenol compounds with a carbonyl group, derived mainly from lignin, gave significant amount of phenol compounds with a carbonyl group for the paper sample of latent high yellowing, i.e., butoxy-and syringaldehyde, butoxy-and syringylacetone, butoxy-acetoguaiacone, butoxy-acetosyringone, butoxy-acetoethylsyringone, 3-methoxy-4-butoxy butyl ester, and 3,5-dimethoxy-4-butoxy butyl ester, using Py-GC/mass spectrometry (MS). The Py-GC method combined with TBAH successfully characterized polyphenol fragments with a carbonyl group causing differ high photo-yellowing in CTMP papers using a microgram order of samples.

Vehicle wiper blades are typically treated with chlorine to lower their friction coefficient with the windshield surface. In this study, a chlorinated, natural rubber (NR) vehicle wiper blade was characterized using a pyrolytic technique. Unchlorinated and chlorinated wiper blades were pyrolyzed and the pyrolysis products were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Besides isoprene and dipentene, the other principal pyrolysis products such as 1,5,8-p-menthatriene (MTT) and p,α-dimethylstyrene (DMS) were observed. The MTT and DMS ratios did not vary for the chlorinated nor unchlorinated samples when the entire rubber lip of the wiper blade was pyrolyzed. However, when only the lip surface of the wiper blade rubber was pyrolyzed (via scratching with a knife) the relative ratios of the chlorinated sample were much greater than those of the unchlorinated sample. As MTT is produced from the conjugated backbone of chlorinated NR that forms through HCl elimination during initial pyrolysis, and DMS is generated by the dehydrogenation of MTT, these two products could be used as markers for detecting chlorinated NR.

고정층 반응기와 파이롤라이저-가스크로마토그래피/질량분석기를 이용하여 커피 잔류물이 함유된 폐종이컵의 열분해 및 촉매 열분해를 진행하였다. 커피 잔류물이 함유된 종이컵의 무촉매 열분해에서는 많은 양의 오일이 가스 및 촤와 함께 형성되었다. HZSM-5와 HY 촉매의 사용에 따른 추가적인 분해 반응에 의해 오일의 양은 줄고 가스의 양은 증가하였다. HZSM-5와 HY의 산촉매 특성 때문에 커피 잔류물이 함유된 종이컵의 촉매 파이롤라이저-가스크로마토그래피/질량분석기 분석은 생성오일 중 방향족 화합물의 선택도를 증가시켰다. HY보다 강한 산세기와 중간 기공을 가진 HZSM-5의 특성으로 인해, HZSM-5상에서 커피 잔류물이 함유된 종이컵을 촉매 열분해한 경우 HY를 사용한 경우보다 휠씬 더 많은 양의 방향족 화합물이 생성되었다.

경북 경산에 위치한 원삼국시대 고분인 임당1호분에서 출토된 칠초 철제 고리자루칼의 칠편에 대해 칠의 구성성분과 풍화상태를 확인하기 위해 열분해/GC/MS법으로 유기물을 분석하였다. 직접 열분해/GC/MS법에서 칠편과 원주산 건조옻이 대체적으로 유사한 크로마토그램을 보였다. THM(thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation)-열분해/GC/MS법의 경우 칠편에서 한국에 자생하는 옻나무 종의 특징적인 성분(1,2-dimethoxy-3-pentadecylbenzene 등)이 관찰되었다. 또한, dimethyl nonanedioate 등 건성유에서 비롯되는 것으로 보이는 성분도 검출되었다. 칠편에서 산화된 catechol 성분이 다량 검출되는 것으로 보아 칠의 열화가 우루시올 성분의 산화와 관련 있을 것으로 추정된다. 이로부터 임당1호분 고리자루칼 칠은 옻과 건성유를 사용하였고 오랜 시간의 경과로 산화가 많이 진행된 상태인 것으로 판단된다.
