Gas Chromatography

  • In 1906, Russian botanist Michael Tswett introduced the concept of “chromatography.”
  • This technique identifies the purity of substances and separates mixture components.
  • It offers a rapid and accurate method for analyzing gaseous combustion products.

Common detectors include:

  • Thermal conductivity detectors.
  • Gas-density detectors.
  • Ionization detectors.
  • Infrared radiometers.
