Abstract
A new method to determine flow profiles of gases flowing through a packed bed is described. The study of different packing techniques and of the resulting flow profiles has led to a new, improved packing method for preparative gas chromatographic columns of large diameter. The influence of radial diffusion on flow profiles is discussed. A plate height of 1.15 mm is the minimum reached so far in 8 cm diameter columns.
