| Abstract: | In this study, the baseline separations of xylene isomers and phthalate acid esters on a homemade DUT‐67(Zr) packed column were achieved, respectively. The high selectivity for xylene isomers and phthalate acid esters was obtained with the increase in temperature and decrease in the retention time. The hydrophobicity of xylene isomers and phthalate acid esters resulted in the different separation time on the DUT‐67(Zr) packed column. The relative standard deviation values of retention time, peak area, peak height, and half peak width for five repeat separation of the xylene isomers were 0.26–0.35, 2.11–2.26, 1.51–2.03, and 0.29–0.77%, and the values of the phthalate acid esters on DUT‐67(Zr) column were 0.1–0.4, 4.4–5.2, 3.9–6.3, and 0.6–2.1%, respectively. The thermodynamic properties indicated that the separation of xylene isomers was controlled by ΔH and ΔS, but the separation of phthalate acid esters was mainly controlled by ΔS. |
