gas chromatography column Articles

In the petrochemical industry, samples such as petroleum naphthas and gasolines routinely must be quantitatively separated into their individual components.  Because these petroleum-derived samples consist of hundreds of compounds, petroleum analysts require chromatography columns that offer high resolution.  We have developed polar and nonpolar capillary gas chromatography columns to ...

Liquid and gas chromatography instruments wouldn't work without columns. Both liquid and gas chromatography analyze samples by separating them into their individual chemical components. A column, a long tube lined with specialized chemicals, is required for this process as it forms part of the instrument which performs the separation. When a sample makes its way through the tube, certain ...

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be separated by packed column or capillary column gas chromatography. An SPB-5 bonded phase fused silica capillary  column separates the 16 PAHs considered priority pollutants in wastewater by the US Pal SP-301, a liquid crystal stationary phase in packed GC columns, resolves benzo(e)pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene. This publication discusses ...

Clean drinking water is of worldwide interest. Contaminants can compromise the quality of a water supply and cause short- and long-term health effects. Stringent water quality criteria help to ensure safe drinking water by requiring the detection and quantification of a wide variety of contaminants at extremely low levels. U.S. EPA Method 524.2 (1) provides the guidance necessary for identifying ...

The US EPA developed Method 524.2¹, “Measurement of Purgeable Organic Compounds in Water by Capillary Column Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry”, for identifying and measuring purgeable volatile organic compounds (VOC) in surface water, groundwater, and drinking water. Due to the required sensitivity of this method, the use of purge and trap gas chromatography is vital. This ...

There is currently a need for a simple, accurate and reproducible method that quantifies the amount of dissolved methane in wastewater in order to realize the potential methane that can be recovered and account for any emissions. This paper presents such a method, using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection fitted with a GS-Gas PRO column coupled with a headspace auto sampler. A ...

Context & Challenges Volatile organic compounds (VOC) can be dissolved in water. Sometimes water is polluted and to study contamination of VOC in finished drinking water, VOC must be measured. Chromatotec Solutions Chromatotec has developed a specific system for the measurement of VOC in water: a Purge & Trap system, the airmoPURGE. The ...
