Gas-liquid partition chromatography: the separation of volatile aliphatic amines and of the homologues of pyridine.

Fig. 6. Analysis of the volatile amines present in Chenopodium vulvaria L. Curve A: standard mixture ofmono-, diand tri-methylamines. Curve B: chromatogram of the amines present in an acid extract ofthe plant, showing the presence of only ammonia and trimethylamine. (Column length, 4ft.; liquid phase, hendecanol-iS% liquid paraffin (v/v); temp., 78 50; flow rate of nitrogen, 5.7 ml./min.; nitrogen pressure, 80 mm. Hg.)
