Gas Liquid Chromatography
  • Principles
  • Partition of molecules between gas (mobile phase)
    and liquid (stationary phase).

3
Most Common Stationary Phases
  • 1. Separation of mixture of polar compounds
  • Carbowax 20M (polyethylene glycol)
  • 2. Separation of mixtures of non-polar compounds
  • OV101 or SE-30 (polymer of methylsilicone)
  • Methylester of fatty acids
  • DEGS (diethylene glycol succinate)

Detector
  • Flame Ionization Detector (Nanogram - ng)
  • High temperature of hydrogen flame (H2 O2 N2)
    ionizes compounds eluted from column into flame.
    The ions collected on collector or electrode and
    were recorded on recorder due to electric
    current.

Thermal Conductivity Detector
Measures the changes of thermal conductivity due
to the sample (mg). Sample can be recovered.  
9
Thermal Conductivity Detector
Principal The thermal balance of a heated
filament Electrical power is converted to heat
in a filament and the temperature will climb
until heat power loss form the filament equals
the electrical power input. The filament may
loose heat by radiation to a cooler surface by
conduction to the molecules which contact with
the filament.
10
Thermal Conductivity Basics
When the carrier gas is contaminated by sample
, the cooling effect of the gas changes. The
difference in cooling is used to generate the
detector signal.
The TCD is a nondestructive, concentration
sensing detector. A heated filament is cooled by
the flow of carrier gas.

11
Thermal Conductivity Detector
When a separated compound elutes from the column
, the thermal conductivity of the mixture of
carrier gas and compound gas is lowered. The
filament in the sample column becomes hotter than
the control column. The imbalance between
control and sample filament temeprature is
measured by a simple gadget and a signal is
recorded

Carbon Tetrachloride 0.05
Benzene 0.11
Hexane 0.12
Argon 0.12
Methanol 0.13
Nitrogen 0.17
Helium 1.00
Hydrogen 1.28

Thermal Conductivity Detector
14
Thermal Conductivity Detector
  • Responds to all compounds
  • Adequate sensitivity for many compounds
  • Good linear range of signal
  • Simple construction
  • Signal quite stable if carrier gas glow rate,
    block temperature, and filament power are
    effectively controlled
  • Nondestructive detection

15
Electron Capture Detector
Analyses for pesticide, Insecticides, vinyl
chloride, and fluorocarbons in foods. Most
sensitive detector (10-12 gram)
16
Electron Capture Detector
ECD detects positive ions of carrier gas by the
anode electrode. 63Ni emits ? particles. Ionizati
on N2 (Carrier gas) ? (e) N2 2e. The
N2 establish a base line X (F, Cl and Br)
containing sample ? (e) ? X- Ion
recombination X- N2 X N2, The
base line due to the N2 will decrease and this
decrease constitutes the signal. The more the
halogen containing X compounds in the sample, the
less the N2 in the detector

Advantages of Gas Chromatography
  • Very good separation
  • Time (analysis is short)
  • Small sample is needed - ml
  • Good detection system
  • Quantitatively analyzed

Disadvantages of Gas Chromatography
Material has to be volatilized at 250C without
decomposition.
