Gas chromatography (GC) is a widely used analytical technique for separating and analyzing volatile compounds in a mixture. Different types of detectors and chromatographic columns are employed based on the specific components and properties of the sample being analyzed. Here's a brief summary of each application mentioned:
Gas chromatography analysis of natural gas constants: Uses a thermal conductivity detector to analyze components like O2, N2, CH4, CO2, C2H6, C3H8, i-C4, n-C4, i-C5, n-C5, and others in urban gas.
Analysis of artificial gas: Utilizes a thermal conductivity detector, double-valve multi-column system, and automatic or manual sample injection for determining main components in artificial gas.
Gas chromatography analysis of LPG: Employs thermal conductivity detector, packed column system, and valve automatic or manual switching for analyzing C2-C4 and total C5 hydrocarbons in LPG produced by refineries.
Gas chromatography analysis of refinery gas: Selects thermal conductivity and hydrogen flame ionization detectors, packed column, and capillary column for analyzing various components in refinery gas.
Gas chromatography analysis of benzene and toluene in vehicle and aviation gasoline: Uses thermal conductivity detector or hydrogen flame ionization detector, double columns connected in series, and a backflushing system for qualitative and quantitative analysis of benzene and toluene in gasoline.
Gas chromatography analysis of some alcohols and ethers in gasoline: Utilizes a hydrogen flame ionization detector, multi-column system, and backflushing to analyze alcohols and ethers in gasoline, especially suitable for automotive and aviation gasoline containing ethanol.
