Study on thermo-gravimetric behavior of five amino acids and pyrolytic formation of hydrocyanic acid
Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute of CNTC, Zhengzhou 450001, P.R. China
The effects of heating rate and atmosphere on the yield of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) from pyrolysis of glycine (Gly), alanine (Ala), leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile) and proline (Pro) were investigated by a modified thermo-gravimetric analyzer. The...
