Continuous Gas Chromatography

Abstract
A continuous surface chromatograph (CSC) having a 12″ disc channel has been built and used to separate a model 3-component mixture of methane, propylene and butane at flow rates up to 18 cm3/min. A computer model of CSC behavior has been developed which is in accord with experimental observations for multi-component mixtures and which can be used to specify parameters for optimal CSC operation. Calculations are made to determine operating parameters for successfully resolving constituents of multi-component mixtures. A procedure is demonstrated to relate the operating conditions of the CSC to the sensitivity of the detection system.
