Abstract
Three types of polyethylene glycols of different molecular weights namely, 600, 4000 and 20000, were evaluated as liquid stationary phases in gas liquid chromatography. Thus, the retention mechanism for the studied polymer stationary phases, 15% by weight on chromosorb PAW and their thermodynamic parameters have been investigated via inverse gas chromatography. The effect of polymer molecular weight on their efficiency as liquid stationary phases for the gas chromatographic separation of different types of hydrocarbons is also studied. The dielectric constant of dilute solutions for the studied polymers as dissolved in solvent chloroform was studied corresponding to their polarities. Two different modes of clusters were determined due to the solute-solute and solute-solvent interaction through hydrogen bonds. All studied polymers have higher performance for separation of cyclic and aromatic compounds. Good chromatographic separation of n-alcohols is obtained toward polyethylene glycol (PEG20000) of relatively higher molecular weight. The saturated hydrocarbons can be separated very efficiently using low molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG600).
