The samples were measured using a Shimadzu GC-2010 gas chromatograph. CH4 was measured using a flame ionization detector with a stainless steel chromatography HDAC-IN-3 column packed with a 5A molecular sieve (2 m long); the carrier gas was N2. The temperatures of the column, injector and detector were 80uC, 100uC and 200uC, respectively. The total flow of the carrier gas was 30 ml min21, the H2 flow was 40 ml min21, and the airflow was 400 ml min21. N2O was measured using an electron capture detector with a Porapak-Q chromatography column (4 m long); the carrier gas was also N2. The temperatures of the column, injector and detector were 45uC, 100uC and 300uC, respectively. The total flow of the carrier gas was 40 ml min21, and the tailblowing flow was 40 ml min21.
