Development of fast enantioselective gas-chromatographic analysis using gas-chromatographic method-translation software in routine essential oil analysis (lavender essential oil)

The study aimed to find the best trade-off between separation of the most critical peak pair and analysis time, in enantioselective GC–FID and GC–MS analysis of lavender essential oil, using the GC method-translation approach. Analysis conditions were first optimized for conventional 25 m × 0.25 mm inner diameter (d_c) column coated with 6^I–VII-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-2^I–VII-3^I–VII-O-ethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD) as chiral stationary phase (CSP) diluted at 30% in PS086 (polymethylphenylpolysiloxane, 15% phenyl), starting from routine analysis. The optimal multi-rate temperature program for a pre-set column pressure was determined and then used to find the pressures producing the efficiency-optimized flow (EOF) and speed-optimized flow (SOF). This method was transferred to a shorter narrow-bore (NB) column (11 m × 0.10 mm) using method-translation software, keeping peak elution order and separation. Optimization of the enantioselective GC method with the translation approach markedly reduced the analysis time of the lavender essential oil, from about 87 min with the routine method to 40 min with an optimal multi-rate temperature program and initial flow with a conventional inner diameter column, and to 15 min with FID as detector or 13.5 min with MS with a corresponding narrow-bore column, while keeping enantiomer separation and efficiency.     

Pd/Ce_xZr_(1-x)O_2对柴油机尾气中可溶性有机物的催化氧化性能

采用共沉淀结合乙醇超临界干燥方法,制备了不同铈锆比的CexZr1-xO2复合氧化物,采用浸渍法制备了负载Pd的催化剂,通过XRD、N2吸脱附、H2-TPR和静态储氧量测试等表征技术,考察了它们的结构性质、还原性能和储放氧性能,并将其应用于柴油机尾气可溶性有机物(SOF)的催化氧化反应中.结果表明,该铈锆复合氧化物具有圆柱形管状介孔结构,孔径分布范围较宽,具有较大的比表面积,因而有利于对SOF的吸附;锆的添加使铈锆复合氧化物体相氧向表面迁移的能力增强,进而提高了载体及其负载Pd催化剂的储氧量、还原性能和对SOF的催化氧化性能.
