Orthogonal Selectivity for Separation of Light and Heavy Petroleum Hydrocarbons by 2D GC

Abstract:

Complex sample mixtures, such as petroleum hydrocarbon fractions, require a detailed separation of the individual organic compound types. A traditional GC approach will lead to multiple coelutions, however in this present work a 2D GC approach was utilized to explore the multi-dimensional separation of complex light and heavier hydrocarbons. The complex hydrocarbon mixture can be thoroughly resolved due to the combination of the high peak capacity in 2D GC, along with the orthogonal selectivity of the Zebron GC columns that provide a complementary selectivity in two-dimensions.
