| Abstract: | Two kinds of capillary columns were prepared and tested as the stationary phases of ligand exchange gas chromatographic separation of dialkyl sulfides. The PTFE column wall-coated with silane-DTC-Cu but without the addition of silicone exhibits significantly better selectivity towards dialkyl sulfides than a column wall-coated with 10% silane-DTC-Cu in silicone. With the first column connected to a microsample injection valve and a microsample loop, the quantitative determination of dialkyl sulfides can be performed. The column also shows great promise for the separation of dialkyl sulfide-hydrocarbon mixtures. |
