Gas ChromatographyGas Chromatography
Gas Chromatography (GC): vaporized analytes (solutes) are partitionedbetween a mobile gaseous phase and a liquid or a solid stationary phase
held in a column. The mobile phase does not interact with molecules of
the analytes (solutes).
Gas-Liquid Chromatography (GLC): partition between mobile phase and
liquid phase immobilized on the surface of an inert solid packing or on thewalls of a capillary tubing.
Gas-Solid Chromatography (GSC): physical adsorption
27A Princip les of GLC
Due to compressibility of gaseous mobile phases, the mathematical
relationships obtained in Chapter 26 need minor modification.
Retention volume (Vg) instead of retention time (tR):
Vg = (K/S) x (273/Tc) Tc : column temperatureS : density of liquid stationary phase

F = Fm x (Tc/T) x (P - PH2O)/P Tc: column temperature (ambient)P: gas pressure at column end (ambient)

Corrected retention volume:

S = mS/VS
Vg = K/S x 273/Tc (from eq. 27-4)
At a given temperature, Vg depends only on the distribution constant (K) and
density (S) of stationary phase (liquid).

1) The minimum for LC usually occurs at flow rates well below those for GC.
2) Plates heights (H) for LC columns are an order of magnitude or more
smaller than those encountered with GC columns.

Column configuration: constructed of fused silica or stainless steel; formed ascoils (diameter: 10~30 cm); housed in a thermostatted oven.
Packed column: 1~5 m.Open tubular (capillary) column: ~100 m.
Column temperature is an important
variable: equal or slightly above the
average boiling point of a sample
reasonable elution time (2-30 min).
In general, optimal resolution is associatedwith minimal temperature; the cost of
lowered temperature is an increase in
elution time [Figure 27-7(a)-(b)].
