Behavior of micro pillar array column in high pressure gas chromatography.
Résumé
Micro pillar array column with interpillar distance of 2.5 µm for pillars diameter of 5 µm has been introduced in high pressure gas chromatographic systems for online industrial analysis. Separation of gas mixtures have been performed under carrier gas pressure as high as 60 bar using rotating valve for gas injection without sample decompression stage prior to injection. A very low intrinsic height equivalent to a theoretical plate value of 14 µm has been obtained in few seconds. Instead of conventional gas chromatography, carrier gas nature such as helium, argon and carbon dioxide and pressure can be used to tune the selectivity. Liquid hydrocarbon samples have been successfully introduced in the column using a septum based split/splitless injector modified to work up to 40 bar. Separations of VOCs and gasoline samples have been successfully performed.
