Separation behaviour of nitroxylene isomers on polyols and polyethers in gas-liquid chromatography
1Chemical Laboratory, Takada Branch, Faculty of Education Niigata University, Nishishiro-cho, Joetsu-shi, 943 Japan.
Abstract:
Of the six nitroxylene isomers, 2,4- and 2,3-nitroxylene are the most difficult to separate by GLC, but they have been effectively separated on various acidic polyols as stationary phases. Although polyethylene glycol could not generally separate the 2,4- and 2,3-nitroxylene isomers, polyethylene glycol 20M could, and polypropylene glycol could separate all the six isomers effectively.

Gas Chromatography: Introduction
In GC, a sample is vaporized and mixed with an inert carrier gas (the mobile phase), which transports it through a column.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
