Gas Chromatography

Gas Chromatography is a simple, general method for composition determination of compounds and mixtures that are not destroyed upon heating. The principle of operation is simple, combining diffusion and adsorption in a column and identification of pure substances at the exit of the column at different exit times. Gas Chromatography is widely used in the industry and its operation modes, advantages, limitations, and working principles are presented in this course.
