Abstract
THE xylene isomers have resisted all previous attempts at resolution by gas-liquid chromatography. An approach to their separation was made recently by Scott and Cheshire1, who used a column with a calculated efficiency of 12,000 theoretical plates. Indeed, the chromatogram showed a very slight separation for meta- and para-xylene.
