O. Hadjadj-aoul et al., Preparation and characterization of a new kieselguhr based gas chromatography support, CHROMATOGR, 50(11-12), 1999, pp. 728-732
A sample of a new kieselguhr is characterized and treated in order to use i
t as gas chromatography column support. This sample has been characterized
by various analytical methods such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), atomic absorption and emission spectrometries and mercury
porosimetry.
Tests of separation of various hydrocarbon mixtures and alcohol mixtures ha
ve been achieved. Results show that the prepared supports have similar perf
ormances than those of commercial products.
