Abstract
IT is a common analytical requirement to separate mixtures containing ethane, ethylene, propane and propylene, and, while gas chromatographic methods have been designed to separate the C2 and C3 gases and also the olefines from the saturated compounds, there is not, in our experience, any simple method reported for the resolution of all four gases on one column.
