“…The pyrolysis of pyrite was carried out in a thermo-gravimetric analyzer (Setaram Evo TG-DTA 1750) consisting of a vertical furnace, a gas manometer system for controlling the atmosphere in the reactor, and an electronic balance connected to a computer that records the mass loss. The schematic diagram of the thermo-gravimetric analyzer is similar to that of the previous study. ,− The reacted gas in the thermo-gravimetric analyzer was blown into a quadrupole mass spectrometer (TILON LC-D200, AMETEK LLC, USA) to detect its components according to the molecular weight. The electron ionization voltage, the temperature of the transfer line, and the m / z range of the mass spectrometer are 10–70 eV, 270 °C, and 1–200, respectively.…”
