The separation of volatile substances by gasliquid chromatography (James & Martin, 1952; James, Martin & Smith, 1952; James, 1952; James & Martin, 1954; Ray, 1954a, b) requires that the substances be detected as they leave the chromatogram in the stream of gas that acts as the mobile phase of the system. A number of methods of detection of varying sensitivity have already been developed (James ...

Ethylene gas is a naturally occurring gas that has an influence on the shelf life of fruit during their transportation in cargo ships. An unintentional exposure of ethylene gas during transportation results in a loss of fruit. A gas chromatographic system is presented here for the detection of ethylene gas. The gas chromatographic system was assembled using a preconcentrator, a printed 3D print...

We present a rapid method for apportioning the sources of atmospheric organic aerosol composition measured by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry methods. Here, we specifically apply this new analysis method to data acquired on a thermal desorption aerosol gas chromatograph (TAG) system. Gas chromatograms are divided by retention time into evenly spaced bins, within which the mass spectra are ...

Gaseous monochlorobenzene was irradiated with KrF excimer laser (248 nm) under reduced pressure. The photodecomposition was an apparent first order reaction. When the system contained no additive gas, the photolysis was found to give benzene (conversion yield: 49%) in the gas phase and many unidentified products in the solid phase. On the other hand, in the presence of oxygen, carbon dioxide (1...

In the analysis of short-chain carboxylic acids such as formic acid and acetic in aqueous solution using extractive alkylation gas chromatography, tetrahexylammonium bromide (THAB) a phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) causes high intensity broad peaks chromatogram, interfere with detection derivatives. By an easy treatment perchloric n-hexane, it is possible to remove more than 95% THAB, provide goo...
