Optimizing Selectivity
Figure 43 Selectivity by Ratio Qualifiers
In a four-component mixture, only biphenyl was recorded. The other three
peaks were suppressed because they did not meet the ratio-qualifier criterion
and therefore the output was set to zero. The characteristic wavelengths
249 nm (λ
1
) and 224 nm (λ
2
) were found from the spectra shown in Figure 42
on page 115. The ratio range was set at 2 – 2.4 (2.2 ±10%). Only when the ratio
between 249 and 224 nm was within this range, is the signal plotted. Of all
four peaks, only the third fulfilled the criterion (Figure 43 on page 116). The
others were not plotted.
