• Pyrolytic formation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons from steroid hormones 

      Christy, Alfred A.; Lian, Monica I.; Francis, George W. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Four steroid hormones, namely androsterone, cholesterol, estrone and estradiol, have been pyrolysed at 300, 400 and 500 °C and the pyrolysates from these have been analysed by GC-MS. The results indicate that these formed ...
    • Pyrolytic formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from sesquiterpenes 

      Francis, George W.; Christy, Alfred A.; Øygarden, Jostein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The products of the pyrolysis of four sesquiterpenes, β-caryophyllene, α-cedrene, longifolene and valencene, have been examined. Pyrolysis was carried out at 300, 400 and 500 °C, the products determined by GC–MS and then ...
