Summary

A fast and reproducible method for the separation of a mixture of inorganic gases and light hydrocarbons has been developed. (Air, methane, carbon dioxide, ethylene, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, propylene, propane, iso-butane, normal butane, n-butene, trans-butene-2, cis-butene-2 and C5 hydrocarbons.) The column configuration has been compiled from three columns packed with DC-200, dibutyl maleate and porapak Q. The system is ideally suited for computer link-up because no negative peaks or any baseline upsets appear.
