Fused-silica capillary columns synthetic

Use of 10 pm LiChrosorb RP18 column and binary eluent of methanol and aqueous 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 4.0) according to suitable gradient elution program in less than 20-min run time with satisfactory precision sensitivity of spectrophotometric detection optimized, achieving for all additives considered detection limits ranging from 0.1 to 3.0 mg/1, below maximum permitted levels Simultaneous separation (20 min) of 14 synthetic colors using uncoated fused silica capillary column operated at 25 kV and elution with 18% acetonitrile and 82% 0.05 M sodium deoxycholate in borate-phosphate buffer (pH 7.8), recovery of all colors better than 82%... 

For qualitative analyses, the GC system was equipped with a J W Scientific HP-5 or a Supelco Simplicity 1 fused-silica capillary column. Injector and detector temperatures were set at 220 °C and 240 °C respectively the oven temperature was programmed from 60 to 230 °C at 40 °C min V Helium was employed as carrier gas (1 mL min ). Compound identification was based on a comparison of mass spectra with those of synthetic racemic and enantiomeric-enriched samples. The retention times for tetralin, 1-tetralol and 1-tetralone were 5.6 min, 6.5 min and 6.6 min respectively. 

The reactor was fed with 1.6 Nl/min of 1000, 2000 and 4000 ppm of methane in air. The mixtures were obtained by mixing N-50 synthetic air and 2.5 % (vol.) CH4 in N-50 synthetic air (Air Products). 40 ppm of SO2 (from a cylinder of 370 ppmV SO2 in N-50 synthetic air. Air Products) were added when the effect of sulphur on the catalysts activity was studied. Flow rates were controlled by calibrated mass flow controllers (Brooks 5850 TR). Exhaust gas was analysed by gas chromatography (Hewlett Packard HP 5890 Series II). Methane in the inlet and outlet streams was analysed using a 30 m fused silica capillary column with apolar stationary phase SE-30, and a FID detector. CO and CO2 were analysed using a HayeSep N 80/100 and a molecular sieve 45/60 columns connected in series, and a TCD detector. Neither CO, nor partial oxidation were detected in any experiment, the carbon mass balance fitting in all the cases within 2%. Methane conversions were calculated both from outlet methane and CO2 concentrations, being both values very close in all the cases. Methane (2000 ppmV) and SO2 (40 ppmV) concentrations have been selected because they are representative of industrial emissions, such as coke oven emissions. 

One-step method for the preparation of highly enantioselective monolithic columns for CEC has been developed by Frechet et al. The chiral polymer bed of defined pore distribution and chiral ligand concentration has been synthesized within the confines of untreated fused silica capillaries using a mixture of O-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethylcarbamoyl]-10,ll-dihydroquinidine 76, ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA), and glycidyl methacrylate or 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in the mixture of cyclohexanol and 1-dodecanol as porogenic solvents. Under optimized synthetic and chromatographic conditions, these materials with the desired characteristics were demonstrated to efficiently separate a model racemic DNZ-Leu, Figure 13.24 [146],... 

Figure 7. GC analysis of a synthetic mixture of diacylglycerols as their TBDMS ethers on a 25 m x 0.25 mm i.d. capillary column, coated with RSL-300 (methyl 50% phenylsiloxane) polarizable stationary phase. Tentative peak identification as given in the figure. Temperature programming was from 40-290 °C, ballistic 290 °C, isothermal for 0.5 min 290-330 C, I0°C/min 330-360 °C, 1 C/min. Dioleoyl-glycerol retained 21.23 min. Carrier gas, hydrogen at 1 bar head pressure. Manual on-column injection with fused-silica needle at 40 °C. (Reproduced from Ref. 188 with permission).

Sol-gel is basically a synthetic glass with ceramiclike properties. The processing consists of hydrolysis and condensation of a metal alkoxide (i.e., tetraethoxysilane) to form a glassy material at room temperature. Further modification of this material with a polymer (stationary phase) is used to prepare phases for capillary columns there has been keen interest in this process (118-123). The final sol-gel product retains the properties of the polymer as well as the properties of the sol-gel component. The sol-gel material is able to covalently bond to fused silica.
