Membrane-introduction mass spectrometry (MIMS) has been presented as one of the promising approaches for online and real-time analysis of monochloramine (NH2Cl) in diverse matrices such as air, human breath, and aqueous matrices. Selective pervaporation of NH2Cl through the introduction membrane overcomes the need for sample preparation steps. However, both the selectivity and sensitivity of MIMS can be affected by isobaric interferences, as reported by several researchers. High-resolution mass spectrometry helps to overcome those interferences. Recent miniaturization of Fourier transform—ion cyclotron resonance—mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) technology coupled to the membrane-introduction system provides a potent tool for in field analysis of monochloramine in environmental matrices. Monochloramine analysis by MIMS based FT-ICR MS system demonstrated decomposition into ammonia. To further clarify the origin of this decomposition, headspace analyses after bypassing the membrane were undertaken and showed that monochloramine decomposition was not exclusively related to interactions within the membrane. Adsorption inside the MIMS device, followed by surface-catalyzed decomposition, was suggested as a plausible additional mechanism of monochloramine decomposition to ammonia.

Computer programs are now available in various laboratories for the indexing and simulation of transmission electron diffraction patterns. Although these programs address themselves to the solution of various aspects of the indexing and simulation process, the ultimate goal is to perform real time diffraction pattern analysis directly off of the imaging screen of the transmission electron microscope. The program to be described in this paper represents one step prior to real time analysis. It involves the combination of two programs, described in an earlier paper(l), into a single program for use on an interactive basis with a minicomputer. In our case, the minicomputer is an INTERDATA 70 equipped with a Tektronix 4010-1 graphical display terminal and hard copy unit.A simplified flow diagram of the combined program, written in Fortran IV, is shown in Figure 1. It consists of two programs INDEX and TEDP which index and simulate electron diffraction patterns respectively. The user has the option of choosing either the indexing or simulating aspects of the combined program.
