Table 4 Correlation of the number of classical structures with calculated bond lengths for Ceo and Cn. The bond environment column describes the arrangements of the carbon atoms which have the bond in common. The column labelled with a f is the bond order calculated using resonance theory as described in the text.

A number of analytical methods have been developed for the determination of chlorotoluene mixtures by gas chromatography. These are used for determinations in environments such as air near industry (62) and soil (63). Liquid crystal stationary columns are more effective in separating m- and chlorotoluene than conventional columns (64). Prepacked columns are commercially available. ZeoHtes have been examined extensively as a means to separate chlorotoluene mixtures (see Molecularsieves). For example, a Y-type 2eohte containing sodium and copper has been used to separate y -chlorotoluene from its isomers by selective absorption (65). The presence of ben2ylic impurities in chlorotoluenes is determined by standard methods for hydroly2able chlorine. Proton (66) and carbon-13 chemical shifts, characteristic in absorption bands, and principal mass spectral peaks are available along with sources of reference spectra (67). 

Packed vs Plate Columns. Relative to plate towers, packed towers are more useful for multipurpose distillations, usually in small (under 0.5 m) towers or for the following specific appHcations severe corrosion environment where some corrosion-resistant materials, such as plastics, ceramics, and certain metaUics, can easily be fabricated into packing but may be difficult to fabricate into plates vacuum operation where a low pressure drop per theoretical plate is a critical requirement high (eg, above 49,000 kg/(hm ) (- 10, 000 lb/(hft )) Hquid rates foaming systems or debottlenecking plate towers having plate spacings that are relatively close, under 0.3 m. 

There is a large amount of Hterature on the analysis of dyes and the most comprehensive treatment of the analytical chemistry of dyestuffs is found in Reference 271. Earlier papers dealing with the analytical chemistry of dyes in the environment mainly used paper, thin-layer, column, and high pressure hquid chromatography and ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry (255,272—275). 

Method 1613 of US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) was used for the PCDD detection in the objects of environment (water, soil etc.). PCDD detection was done with the help of Polaris Q gas chromatograph/ mass spectrometer on mass-spectrum of electronic impact in the MS-MS mode. Division of isomer PCDD was carried out on a capillary column from the sintered quartz DB-5 MS (60 m x 0,25 mm, thickness of tape 0,25 p.m). The same device was used for detection of fungicides formulations active ingredients in soil. 

Gel filtration separations are performed in an aqueous environment and the requirement on chemical resistance is therefore modest. Most column tubes and accessories (e.g., support net, sealings) withstand the solvent mixtures sometimes used in aqueous SEC such as 20% ethanol, 3 M guanidinium hydrochloride, 6 M urea, or 0.1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH, the last two being used for cleaning the packed column (see Section V). 

An example may show how the different concepts come into effect in a real-life laboratory environment. This example is based on column selections that many laboratories use for ordinary, general-purpose work.
