TD-GC/MS chromatograms of a the aliphatic molecules (n-alkanes); b–e aromatic molecules (e.g., monocyclic species: benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene, and phenol; bicyclic species: naphthalene, methyl naphthalene, dimethyl-naphthalene, and biphenyl; tricyclic species: phenanthrene, anthracene, methyl phenanthrene; and tetracyclic species: fluoranthene and pyrene); f heterocyclic molecules (e.g., dibenzofuran) from the quenched carbonaceous product without the sabot system (w/o sabot). Please see also Fig. 7 for a comparison of PAH profiles from the systems w/ or w/o the sabot
