Supercritical Fluid Chromatography: Application of a New Technique for Analysis and Materials Characterization: Final Report.

摘要

Eleven organic materials used at Allied-Signal Inc., Kansas City Division (KCD), have been analyzed using supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). This work was undertaken to determine the potential applications of SFC for acceptance testing and material characterization. Gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are also included for comparison with the resolution obtained with SFC. In addition, thermogravimetric analyses of the samples were performed to indicate the amount of sample material expected to volatilize from the hot injection port of the GC. With SFC, the analytical results contributed significantly more information than one would expect to obtain from either GC or HPLC. These results will be an encouragement to seek support at KCD for developing this technique to provide new and expanded information not readily obtained in any other way. 13 refs., 43 figs., 2 tabs.
