GAS ADSORPTION CHROMATOGRAPHY [5 records]

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

Although real-life gas chromatography analysis is a complex process depending on numerous factors such as molecular volume, chemical and physical properties, the form of the analyzed molecules, the temperature of the process, the adsorption abilities, other properties of the matrix, etc., the separation for many compounds depends on differences in boiling points.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Engineering
DEF

A collective term including a large number of unit operations which, in one way or another, isolate the various components of mixtures. Chief among these are evaporation, distillation, drying, gas absorption, sedimentation, solvent extraction, pressure extraction, adsorption, and filtration. Specialized methods include centrifugation, electromagnetic separation(mass spectrograph), gaseous diffusion, and various types of chromatography.

Record 3 2003-11-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

A form of gas chromatography in which the moving phase is a gas and the stationary phase is a surface-active sorbent(charcoal, silica gel, or activated alumina). The separation is achieved by adsorption of the components of a sample.

OBS

The physical states of the mobile and stationary phases give rise to four basic types of chromatography: gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), gas-solid chromatography (GSC), liquid - liquid chromatography (LLC), and liquid-solid chromatography (LSC). Of the four basic types of chromatography, the two gas systems are independent and not subject to subdivisions. Thus the terms "gas-liquid chromatography" and "gas-solid chromatography" adequately identify the techniques involved. The liquid systems are not as easily described and are not mutually exclusive, which can lead to considerable confusion.

Key term(s)
  • gas adsorption chromatography
  • solid gas chromatography

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
DEF

Chromatographie en phase gazeuse dans laquelle la phase fixe est constituée par un adsorbant solide.

OBS

Dans cette définition, le premier mot spécifie la nature de la phase mobile et le second la phase stationnaire. En chromatographie gazeuse, la distinction entre gaz-solide peut paraître obscure : des liquides peuvent être employés pour modifier les phases stationnaires solides et les supports solides utilisés pour retenir les phases stationnaires liquides qui peuvent affecter le processus chromatographique. Dans un classement selon la nature des phases, le terme relatif à l'effet prédominent doit être choisi.

OBS

«Chromatographie gaz-solide» a été normalisé par l'AFNOR.

Key term(s)
  • chromatographie d'adsorption des mélanges gazeux
  • chromatographie gaz solide

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Química analítica
DEF

Cromatografía de gases en la que la fase estacionaria es un sólido adsorbente.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

Adsorption chromatography. This form of chromatography employs an adsorbent such as silica gel or alumina as a solid stationary phase, and either a liquid mobile phase... or a gas mobile phase....

OBS

Adsorption chromatography with Florisil, alumina, silica gel, and carbon as the adsorbents has been used extensively for cleanup of soil extracts prior to insecticidal determination.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
DEF

Séparation principalement fondée sur les différences d'affinité des composés pour la surface du solide actif sur lequel ils sont adsorbés.

DEF

[...] type de chromatographie [...] utilisé [...] pour la séparation des substances lipophiles.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Química analítica
DEF

Cromatografía basada en las diferencias entre las afinidades de adsorción de los componentes de una mezcla por la superficie de un sólido activo.

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

Bartz and Ruhl designed a rapid scanning infrared gas chromatography unit to utilize the chromatograph's ability to separate individual components in complex mixtures and the infrared's capabilities to identify the reasonably pure eluted fractions by their specific adsorption spectra.
