Mixtures of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, and isoamyl alcohol were resolved by partition chromatography on Celite–water columns, using carbon tetrachloride and chloroform as developing solvents, each alcohol being determined quantitatively by dichromate oxidation of the fractions thus obtained. Only 0.5 ml. of an aqueous solution containing 1–5 mgm. of each alcohol was required for an analysis. The method was used successfully in the analysis of a mixture of volatile fermentation products containing n-butanol, isopropanol, ethanol, acetoin, diacetyl, and acetone.
