Abstract
The contribution of interfacial adsorption and bulk solution partition to hydrocarbon solute retention on polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) were investigated by gas—liquid—solid chromatography using Chromosorb P and modified alumina supports pre-heated at 900, 1000, 1100 and 1150°C. When using a solid support with low adsorption capacity such as Chromosorb P, the bulk solution partition controlled the retention volume of a given solute. On a solid support with high adsorption capacity, the interfacial adsorption was still important even at a high liquid loading. These results can be interpreted in terms of the thickness of the PEG 6000 layer on the solid support. On the modified alumina, at least a triple layer was required for the PEG 6000 to exhibit its bulk proporties.
