Means for separating organics containing from one to twenty carbons comprising series connected packed and capillary columns
Abstract
Abstract AN APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING AND/OR IDENTIFYING COMPLEX MIXTURES INCLUDING ORGANICS CONTAINING FROM ONE TO TWENTY CARBON ATMSOMS AND HAVING WIDELY DIFFERING BOILING POINTS IN A CONTINUOUS PROCESS USING TWO DIFFERENT SERIES CONNECTED TANDEM PACKED AND OPEN TUBULAR COLUMNS AND WITHOUT THE USE OF SUBAMBIENT TEMPERATURE PROGRAMMING, BACKFLUSHING OR CARRIER GAS SWITCHING TECHNIQUES. THE APPARATUS IS IN THE NATURE OF A GAS CHROMATOGRAPH HAVING SUBSTANTIALLY EXPANDED OPERATING AND DETECTION RANGES AS COMPARED TO EXISTING DEVICES USED FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR PURPOSES AND AS SUCH THE PRESENT DEVICE HAS BROAD USES AS A RESEARCH AND AS A ROUTINE ANALYSIS TOOL AND CAN BE USED TO SEPARATE AND IDENTIFY THE PRESENCE OF CONSTITUENTS IN GASEOUS, LIQUID AND SOLID STATES. FURTHERMORE, WHILE THE MAIN USE OF THE PRESENT DEVICE IS IN CONNECTION WITH ORGANIC SUBSTANCE ANALYSIS IT CAN ALSO BE USED TO SEPARATE AND/OR DETECT THE PRESENCE OF CERTAIN INORGANIC SUBSTANCES AS WELL.
