Abstract
PREVIOUS investigations have shown that gas–solid chromatography (GSC) on activated alumina is useful in separating paraffins and olefines from C1−C8 (refs. 1–3). The physicochemical characteristics of the solute and its affinity for the adsorbent determine the efficiency and limitations of alumina GSC. The choice of carrier gas for adsorption chromatography has a marked effect on retention times and column efficiencies4. Solute characteristics that influence the degree of separation attained include differences in boiling points, molecular branching, and the presence of double and triple bonds.
