Analysis of amine compounds by capillary gas chromatography using ammonia–helium carrier gas

The use of 10%, 1%, and 0.1% ammonia in helium as carrier gas was investigated as a means of improving poor chromatographic peak shape often associated with low level determinations of amine compounds using thin film capillary columns. The 1% ammonia in helium was found suitable for improving the peak shape of sterically unhindered amine compounds, such as urethane and certain aliphatic primary amines, during gas chromatographic analysis on thin film columns. There was a negligible effect on the peak tailing arising on thick film columns. The 0.1% ammonia in helium was suitable, but not as efficient as the 1% ammonia in helium, in eliminating the peak tailing associated with low level analysis of amine compounds. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio improved from < 1 using helium carrier gas to 20–25 (for certain test amine compounds) using 1% ammonia in carrier gas. The 10% ammonia in helium carrier gas had an effect on the chromatographic performance similar to that of the 1% ammonia in helium, but the baseline level was very high and this mixture was not used in further studies.

Rapid on-line analysis of low molecular weight hydrocarbons using glass capillary gas chromatography

Rapid analysis is important for on-line chromatography. Gaseous or vaporized samples have been injected via heated gas sampling valves of less than 500 μl dead volume. The critical sampling and split problems could be solved by temperature programming. The general analysis described could be successfully used inter alia in scouting reactions.     

Limits in arson debris analysis by capillary column gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

Sample enrichment technology and instrumental sensitivity are no longer limiting factors in arson debris analysis. When pyrolyzed, petroleum based composite materials may produce artifacts. Urban air is another major source of interference since some of the components typically found in air, in particular alkylated aromatic hydrocarbons, are customarily used as indicators for the presence of gasoline. It is suggested to replace qualitative analysis with a quantitative approach, taking the sample matrix into consideration.     

Computer comparisons of variables in capillary gas chromatography

A series of computer-constructed van Deemter curves that permits evaluation of a number of variables in capillary gas chromatography is presented. The graphs permit the comparison of inter-related parameters, including the choice of carrier gas (hydrogen vs helium vs nitrogen), column length (10-100 m), column diameter (0.20, 0.25, 0.32, 0.4 mm), solute partition ratios (0-10), and liquid phase film thickness (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 μm). The curves are evaluated, both in terms of the relative magnitude of the optimum average linear carrier gas velocity, and in terms of the significance of the sharpness of the curve.     

Chemical characterization of gorse pyrolytic oils by capillary gas chromatography

Thermochemical conversion of biomass produces solid charcoal, gaseous fuels, and condensable oils. Because these oils vary widely in composition depending on the cellulosic feedstock and the operating conditions used, analysis of the oils is necessary in order to determine the best ways of utilizing or disposing of them. The major components of the organic oil from pyrolysis of gorse have been characterized by capillary gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. A qualitative study of the aqueous oil from the same source has also been attempted.     

Application of capillary gas chromatography to environmental analysis

Routine analytical methods for benzo[a]pyrene and nitroarenes in airborne particulates are presented. Benzo[a]pyrene in airborne particulates was easily analyzed by a capillary GC/NCIMS. Analysis time was about 10 min and analytical values obtained by this method agreed well with those by HPLC/spectrofluorometry. Nineteen nitroarenes were analyzed by capillary GC/FTD following a simple clean-up procedure. Fifteen out of 19 nitroarenes analyzed were mutagenic for Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA98, and 4 nitroarenes were carcinogenic to experimental animals.     

Organochlorine residue analysis of commercial milks by capillary gas chromatography

The determination of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in milks requires the use of efficient extraction methods. A rapid procedure has been developed, based on extraction of organochlorine residues from milk on to octadecylsilica solid phase extraction cartridges and elution with hexane. The addition of different organic solvents to the milk before solid phase extraction has been studied. The use of methanol to disrupt the fat globules enables almost complete recovery of the residues with minimum extraction of fatty substances. Recovery experiments were performed for eighteen compounds present at ppb levels in whole, two per cent, and skimmed milks. The average recoveries of the compounds from two per cent and skimmed milks were 73–84%; values for whole milk were lower. The residues were determined by gas chromatography using two kinds of capillary column (non-polar and semi-polar) and electron capture detection. The procedure shows low lipid carry over, and extraneous interferences are minimal. The method has been applied to the detection of organochlorine pesticides and nine individual polychlorinated biphenyls in commercial milks. The results obtained demonstrated the presence of very low levels of organochlorine residues in the commercial milks analyzed.     

Experimental design optimization of the analysis of gasoline by capillary gas chromatography

An optimization procedure for multi-step temperature programmed capillary GC was investigated for the detailed hydrocarbon analysis of gasoline. A set of twelve responses, represented by the value of the resolution of the most difficult separations, was selected from several isothermal analyses. The variation of these responses versus the temperature programming conditions was then modeled using a Doehlert matrix for experimental design. Optimal experimental conditions for the twelve responses were then obtained from a response surface optimization. The predicted and experimental resolutions were in good agreement.     

Glass capillary gas chromatography with liquid crystals

Summary The present study demonstrates the use of the p-butoxy homologue and of the liquid crystal: N,N-Bis(p-methoxybenzylidene)-,-bi-p-toluidine itself (BMBT) as the stationary phase in glass capillary columns. We have studied the influence of surface treatment of the glass wall on column performance and the effects on selectivity if BMBT is blended with conventional phases like OV-1 and OV-101.

Rapid determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in feeds by capillary gas chromatography

A simple micro-method is described for determination of 15 organochlorine pesticide residues in mixed feeds. Clean-up of the petroleum ether extract is by basic alumina minicolumn chromatography and quantitative identification is by capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection. Cyanopropyl-polysiloxane chemically bonded fused silica capillary columns have been used to perform high resolution analyses in short time as well as to overcome possible interferences by PCBs. Recovery, repeatability, and detection limits of the proposed procedure are checked and results are also reported for non random samples of 180 feeds collected in Italy.     

Multichannel autosampler for Curie-point pyrolysis capillary gas chromatography

A multichannel autosampler which can automatically analyze up to 20 samples in sequence has been developed for on-line Curie-point pyrolysis – capillary GC. The results obtained from the system show that the analysis of thermally labile samples could be performed without either thermal degradation or reaction during the waiting time before the final pyrolysis. The reproducibilities of the relative peak areas and retention times of the characteristic pyrolysates of a tricomponent copolymer were significantly better than those obtained by manual sample manipulation.
