The table below contains values of the retention factor k for four refinery gases, studied at three different temperatures upon the same capillary column (length L = 30cm, internal diameter = 250 pm), whose stationary phase is of type SE-30. The chromatograph is supplied with a cryogenic accessory.

Capillary and packed (GC) columns are of value in the analysis of complex mixtures of lipids. The best capillary column length will depend on the complexity of the material injected, however, 30-m columns are often employed. In packed columns, many types of stationary phases are available for lipid separation, and these include silicone and alkylated or cyanogenated derivatives, polyesters, polyglycol, and carboranes. It is also common to derivatize the fatty-acid side chains to the corresponding methyl esters by reaction in BF3/ methanol prior to chromatographic analysis to achieve more distinct and uniform separations.

The packed capillary column length is typically 10 cm long and the column flow rate is maintained at 100 to 1000 nL/min. The inset shows the electrospray tip formed at the end of a 100-pm i.d. fused silica capillary column. 

Alkylation of isobutane with 1-butene was carried out in a fixed bed down flow stainless steel tubular microreactor. The experiments were carried out in the gas phase at 1 atm total pressure, isobutane/l-butene molar ratio of 14 and 1-butene space velocity 1.0 h". Premixed isobutane and 1-butene (>99% purity, Matheson) was fed from a gas cylinder. A high paraffin to olefin ratio was choosen to reduce the chance of olefin dimerization. The catalysts (300 mg, 60-80 pm particle size) were activated in the reactor by calcining in air at 450°C for 4 hours. Air flow was then replaced by nitrogen and the catalyst temperature was lowered to the desired reaction temperature. The feed gas and the products were analyzed by a on-line gas chromatograph equipped with a CP-Sil PONA capillary column (length 50 m, film thickness 0.25 pm). 

The above equation suggests that the efficiency in CZE is related to the applied voltage and not capillary column length. Maximize efficiency and a reduction in analysis times is obtained using high voltages and short columns. This can be accomplished only by efficient heat dissipation. Control of column temperature in CE becomes very important.

There have been dramatic changes in the GC analysis of amino acids over the last 20 yr. Earlier chromatographic separations were generally performed on packed columns, usually 1-3 m in length, with an inner diameter of 2-4 mm. With the advancement of technology, capillary columns have become more popular. The common capillary column length varies from 12-25 m, with an inner diameter of 0.2-0.5 mm. Numerous stationary phases (OV-1,... 

The column is swept continuously by a carrier gas such as helium, hydrogen, nitrogen or argon. The sample is injected into the head of the column where it is vaporized and picked up by the carrier gas. In packed columns, the injected volume is on the order of a microliter, whereas in a capillary column a flow divider (split) is installed at the head of the column and only a tiny fraction of the volume injected, about one per cent, is carried into the column. The different components migrate through the length of the column by a continuous succession of equilibria between the stationary and mobile phases. The components are held up by their attraction for the stationary phase and their vaporization temperatures. 

Capillary Columns Capillary, or open tubular columns are constructed from fused silica coated with a protective polymer. Columns may be up to 100 m in length with an internal diameter of approximately 150-300 )J,m (Figure 12.17). Larger bore columns of 530 )J,m, called megabore columns, also are available. 

In general, the longer a chromatographic column, the better will be the separation of mixture components. In modem gas chromatography, columns are usually made from quartz and tend to be very long (coiled), often 10-50 m, and narrow (0.1-1.0 mm, internal diameter) — hence their common name of capillary columns. The stationary phase is coated very thinly on the whole length of the inside wall of the capillary column. Typically, the mobile gas phase flows over the stationary phase in the column at a rate of about 1-2 ml/min.

As with capillary columns, it is crucial to have an inactive surface and maintain a reasonably even temperature over the length of the interface. This is usually accomplished by using only glass in the interface. The additional connections necessary in an enrichment-type interface present new areas for leaks to occur. Connections are especially prone to develop leaks after a cooling/heating cycle. 

The catalytic reforming of CH4 by CO2 was carried out in a conventional fixed bed reactor system. Flow rates of reactants were controlled by mass flow controllers [Bronkhorst HI-TEC Co.]. The reactor, with an inner diameter of 0.007 m, was heated in an electric furnace. The reaction temperatoe was controlled by a PID temperature controller and was monitored by a separated thermocouple placed in the catalyst bed. The effluent gases were analyzed by an online GC [Hewlett Packard Co., HP-6890 Series II] equipped with a thermal conductivity detector (TCD) and carbosphere column (0.0032 m O.D. and 2.5 m length, 80/100 meshes), and identified by a GC/MS [Hewlett Packard Co., 5890/5971] equipped with an HP-1 capillary column (0.0002 m O.D. and 50 m length).
