Adsorption Gas Chromatography of Hydrocarbons on Activated Alumina

Nature volume 206, pages 823–824 (1965)Cite this article

Abstract

A MULTICOMPONENT mixture of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons has been successfully separated on a single gas–solid chromatographic (GSC) column of activated alumina. This separation is remarkable when the extreme boiling-point range (−88.3° to +125.8° C) of the respective components is considered.
