Under the reaction conditions used for the kinetic measurements, no formation of intermediates (e.g. nitroso, hydroxylamino or hydrazo compounds) could be observed. The composition of reaction mixtures was checked by thin layer and gas chromatography, monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy and finally verified by GUMS, H- and 3Q.j,jMR-spectroscopy. 

The incorporation was first confirmed by ultracentrifugation the supernatant did not contain both the phospholipid and the lipid-heme. This indicated that lipid-heme is included in the liposome. The liposome solution was also checked by gel permeation chromatography monitored by the absorption at 300 and 415 nm based on the phospholipid and the heme, respectively. The curve coincided with each other, which means that the heme is included in the liposome.

The formation of bis-organomanganese bromides cannot be ruled out on the basis of gas chromatography monitoring. After acidic quenching of the reaction mixture followed by gas chromatography analysis, less than 5% of thiophene was detected.

Chromatographic techniques, particularly gas phase chromatography, are used throughout all areas of the petroleum industry research centers, quality control laboratories and refining units. The applications covered are very diverse and include gas composition, search and analysis of contaminants, monitoring production units, feed and product analysis. We will show but a few examples in this section to give the reader an idea of the potential, and limits, of chromatographic techniques. 

Clinical Analysis Clinical, pharmaceutical, and forensic labs make frequent use of gas chromatography for the analysis of drugs. Because the sample s matrix is often incompatible with the GC column, analytes generally must be isolated by extraction. Figure 12.25b shows how gas chromatography can be used in monitoring blood alcohol levels. 

As with gas chromatography, numerous detectors have been developed for use in monitoring HPLC separations. To date, the majority of HPLC detectors are not unique to the method, but are either stand-alone instruments or modified versions of the same.

High performance Hquid chromatography (hplc) may be used to determine nitroparaffins by utilizing a standard uv detector at 254 nm. This method is particularly appHcable to small amounts of nitroparaffins present, eg, in nitro alcohols (qv), which caimot be analyzed easily by gas chromatography. Suitable methods for monitoring and deterrnination of airborne nitromethane, nitroethane, and 2-nitropropane have been pubUshed by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (97). Ordinary sorbant tubes containing charcoal are unsatisfactory, because the nitroparaffins decompose on it unless the tubes are held in dry ice and analyzed as soon after collection as possible. 

Acetylene has a low solubiHty in Hquid oxygen. Excessive concentrations can lead to separation of soHd acetylene and produce accumulations that, once initiated, can decompose violently, detonating other oxidizable materials. Acetylene is monitored routinely when individual hydrocarbons are determined by gas chromatography, but one of the wet classical methods may be more convenient. These use the unique reaction of acetylene with Ilosvay s reagent (monovalent copper solution). The resulting brick-red copper acetyHde may be estimated colorimetricaHy or volumetricaHy with good sensitivity (30). 

Gas chromatography (gc) has been used extensively to analyze phenoHc resins for unreacted phenol monomer as weU as certain two- and three-ring constituents in both novolak and resole resins (61). It is also used in monitoring the production processes of the monomers, eg, when phenol is alkylated with isobutylene to produce butylphenol. Usually, the phenoHc hydroxyl must be derivatized before analysis to provide a more volatile compound. The gc analysis of complex systems, such as resoles, provides distinct resolution of over 20 one- and two-ring compounds having various degrees of methylolation. In some cases, hemiformals may be detected if they have been properly capped (53). 

Air Monitoring. The atmosphere in work areas is monitored for worker safety. Volatile amines and related compounds can be detected at low concentrations in the air by a number of methods. Suitable methods include chemical, chromatographic, and spectroscopic techniques. For example, the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods has methods based on gas chromatography which are suitable for common aromatic and aHphatic amines as well as ethanolamines (67). Aromatic amines which diazotize readily can also be detected photometrically using a treated paper which changes color (68). Other methods based on infrared spectroscopy (69) and mass spectroscopy (70) have also been reported. 

Mixtures can be identified with the help of computer software that subtracts the spectra of pure compounds from that of the sample. For complex mixtures, fractionation may be needed as part of the analysis. Commercial instmments are available that combine ftir, as a detector, with a separation technique such as gas chromatography (gc), high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc), or supercritical fluid chromatography (96,97). Instmments such as gc/ftir are often termed hyphenated instmments (98). Pyrolyzer (99) and thermogravimetric analysis (tga) instmmentation can also be combined with ftir for monitoring pyrolysis and oxidation processes (100) (see Analytical methods, hyphenated instruments).
