Selection of the porous layer open tubular columns for separation of light components in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography

摘要

Up to the present, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography was commonly performed using combinations of columns with stationary liquid phases. There are singular examples with a porous layer open tubular (PLOT) column used only in the second dimension. However, GC x GC systems with two PLOT columns are not reported in the literature. Our work describes the application of two PLOT columns in the GC x GC mode. In the first and second dimensions we used columns with the sorbents based on organic porous polymers with different selectivity: Rt-Q-BOND (nonpolar column consist of 100% divinylbenzene-styrene), Rt-S-BOND (intermediate polar column, which contain 4-vinylpyridine), Rt-U-BOND (polar column based on divinylbenzene - ethylene glycol dimethylacrylate copolymer), DVB-Vlm (divinylbenzene-vinylimidazole copolymer), a column PTMSP with poly-(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) sorbent, and a GASPRO column with porous silica as a stationary phase.
