Analysis of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons in Airborne Particulates by Glass Capillary Column Gas Chromatography

Column switching analysis with packed-capillary columns in gas chromatography.

By introducing sequentially connected two packed-capillary columns, a wide range of volatile compounds were successfully separated in gas chromatography. The hyphenation of two packed-capillary columns of 1.0 mm i.d. was accomplished using a conventional 6-port valve, where the temperature of each column was individually controlled in the respective column ovens. These columns were prepared w...

Capillary Column Selectivity and Inertness for Sulfur Gas Analysis in Light Hydrocarbon Streams by Gas Chromatography

Quantitative Analysis of Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Complex Hydrocarbon Mixtures by High Resolution Capillary Gas Chromatography

Natural and synthetic hydrocarbon mixtures are complex samples containing hundreds of different aliphatic and aromatic components in widely differing concentrations. The number of components depends on a group-type composition and the range and distribution of boiling points of the components present in the mixture . Hydrocarbon mixtures are characterised in two ways, by structural group analys...

Quantitative Determination of LPG Hydrocarbons by Modified Packed Column Adsorbent of Gas Chromatography Via Full Factorial Design

In this study, a new silica gel based adsorbent was fabricated and its ability in separation and quantification of alkanes mixture was investigated. Silica gel (SiO2) is a polar absorbent which is mainly used to separate polar compounds. Also, the carbon materials such as activated carbon and recently carbon nanotube (CNTs), have been widely used for separation of nonpolar materials. Carbon nan...

Long-chain aliphatic fatty acids and phytanic acid simultaneously measured by dual-column capillary chromatography.

A method is described for simultaneously measuring long-chain aliphatic fatty acids and phytanic acid in plasma, for the diagnosis of disorders associated with peroxisomal defects, eliminating the need for two separate chromatographic runs to resolve all of the analytes. In addition, the simultaneous, dual-column analysis allows confirmation of the identity and quantity of the individual fatty ...
