Summary
Experimental results are presented on the application of Carbosieve S (Supelco) and Spherocarb (Analabs) spherical carbon molecular sieves for the gas chromatographic separation of mixtures of permanent gases and C1−C3 hydrocarbons using a single column or two columns in series. At a programmed temperature of 35–300°C, good separation of the sample components was obtained when using helium as the carrier gas. When hydrogen was used as the carrier gas and the analysis was carried out under isothermal conditions the elution sequence of oxygen and nitrogen reversed as the temperature was increased. This behaviour was observed within a temperature range of 35–225°C for Carbosieve S, and within a temperature range of 35–300°C for Spherocarb.
