Handbook Chromatography Hydrocarbons Gas Chromatograph

This volume covers the world's literature between 1970 and 1980 and addresses the wide diversity of hydrocarbons structures, the basic operating components of the gas chromatographic system and their control for optimizing separations. It includes numerous chromatograms depicting separations of various hydrocarbon classes and features three major sections on hydrocarbon analysis with respect to general ap-plication, specific studies, and special techniques. The properties and characteristics of and studies employing the broad spectrum of available liquid phases and absorbents as separating media and studies reporting retention data for the different hydrocarbon classes are described. The text provides 45 comprehensive retention tables containing several thousand indices in a standardized retention index format.
