Investigation of the effect of the nature and pressure of a carrier gas on retention of organic compounds in capillary adsorption chromatography

The dependence of capacity factors on the pressure of a carrier gas in capillary adsorption chromatography was studied theoretically and experimentally. The equation deduced theoretcally satisfactorily conformed to experimental data.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
