Procedures for determining fatty acids in sediments involved liquid-liquid extraction, liquid-solid adsorption chromatography followed by gas liquid chromatographic analysis [10-12], Liquid extractions have been performed with methanol-chloroform [13], methylene chloride [14] and benzene-methanol [15, 16]. Typical liquid-solid adsorbents are silicic acid. Standard gas chromatographic separations for complex mixtures employ non-polar columns packed with OV-1, OV-17, OV-101, SE-30, or glass capillary columns containing similar phases. 

A variety of procedures were utilized to analyze this reaction mixture and to characterize a,10-diaminopolystyrene. Thin layer chromatographic analysis using toluene as eluent exhibited three spots with Rf values of 0.85, 0.09, and 0.05 which corresponded to polystyrene, poly(styryl)amine and a,w-diaminopolystyrene (see Figure 1). Pure samples of each of these products were obtained by silica gel column Chromatography of the crude reaction mixture initially using toluene as eluent [for polystyrene and poly(styryl)amine] followed by a methanol/toluene mixture (5/100 v/v) for the diamine. Size-exclusion chromatography could not be used to characterize the diamine since no peak was observed for this material, apparently because of the complication of physical adsorption to the column packing material. Therefore, the dibenzoyl derivative (eq. 5) was prepared and used for most of the analytical characterizations. 

The direct injection of biological samples onto the chromatographic column without any sample preparation is in most cases highly problematic and may lead to an irreversible contamination of the separation columns, which reduce selectivity and column performance. A powerful asset to circumvent all the named problems is the implementation of RAM for sample preparation. RAMs, a combination of SEC with adsorptive chromatography, have foimd widespread use in the analysis of drug metabolites and other low-MW compounds, but have... 

Capillary gas chromatography of morphine and codeine was described by Christophersen and Rasmussen in connection with their studies on flash heater derivatization of drugs for gas chromatographic analysis. Derivatization was found necessary for relative polar compounds such as morphine and codeine because of the often undesirable adsorption observed with glass capillary columns. Trimethylsilylation was performed with N,0-bis-(trimethylsilyl)acetamide and ethylmorphine was used as an internal standard for the quantitative determinations on a 20 m by 0.35 mm I.D. glass capillary, wall coated with SE-30. Calibration graphs for concentrations of 1-10 yg/ml in ethylacetate were constructed. The data obtained from the reproducibility test showed that at 5.0 pg/ml the relative standard deviation was 1.5 % for codeine and 4.3 % for morphine. 

However, fractional separation has been the basis for most asphalt composition analysis (Fig. 15.5). The separation methods that have been used divide asphalt into operationally defined fractions. Three types of asphalt separation procedures are now in use (a) chemical precipitation in which n-pentane separation of asphaltenes is followed by chemical precipitation of other fractions with sulfuric acid of increasing concentration (ASTM D-2006) (b) adsorption chromatography with a clay-gel procedure in which, after removal of the asphaltenes, the remaining constituents are separated by selective adsorption/desorption on an adsorbent (ASTM D-2007 and ASTM D-4124) and (c) size exclusion chromatography in which gel permeation chromatographic (GPC) separation of asphalt constituents occurs based on their associated sizes in dilute solutions (ASTM D-3593). 

Chromatography is based on the differential adsorption ability of the vacuum residue components on an adsorbent (see chapter 2). As a first step, the solved vacuum residue is adsorbed on the adsorbent and then different components in the sample are desorbed using solvents of various polarities. An example of a scheme for chromatographic analysis (E. D. Radchenko) is shown in Figure 8.13 [1]. 

Sulfur gases pose a challenge in gas chromatographic analysis because they are both highly mobile and chemically very active molecules, which can lead to losses through adsorption and peak tailing. Gas chromatography is the method of choice for their separation due to their volatile nature. 

The frontal chromatographic analysis of a molecular-imprinted column allows not only the determination of adsorption energies and saturation capacities [65,66], but also determination of kinetic data for the association/dissociation process involved in the interaction between template and imprinted binding site, and mass transfer data for the chromatography process itself [67-69]. 

The theoretical basis for the chromatographic analysis of adsorption phenomena in gas and/or liquid phase was given by Don DeVault (ref. 1) and Glueckauf (ref. 2, 3). The mathematical procedure developed by these authors enables one to determine the adsorption isotherm of a solute from its elution profiles in column chromatography. The experimental procedure required for this method is far less laborious than those for the conventional static methods of adsorption measurement, and many experimental works have appeared since (ref. 4, 5). Many of these works, however, dealt with adsorption from gaseous phases, and applications to liquid phases are scarce (ref. 6, 7). 

Adsorption activity of glass or fused-silica capillary has always been an important topic in gas chromatography (see, e.g. [1, 4, 58]). The problem of column wall activity still remains important due to ever-increasing demands on column inertness in quantitative and qualitative analysis. An extended field of gas chromatographic analysis deeding with polar compounds of various classes such as un-derlvatized drugs, pyridines, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons etc. requires particularly inert tubing. 

These methods are supplemented by gas chromatography, a partition chromatographic procedure. Conversely, adsorption TLC is an ideal method for isolating a compound class for gas chromatographic analysis (see [65] and Chapter F). 

One of the most important laboratory applications of adsorption is the recovery and concentration of vitamins, proteins, and other biological substances by the method of chromatographic analysis, the details of which are discussed in one of the subsequent chapters, under the title Adsorption Chromatography .
