Compare gas liquid chromatography with gas solid chromatography
Accepted Answer
Gas-Liquid Chromatography (GLC)
* The stationary phase is a liquid coated on a solid support.
* The sample is vaporized and injected into the column.
* The components of the sample are separated based on their different interactions with the stationary and mobile phases.
* The separated components are detected by a detector, such as a flame ionization detector (FID) or a mass spectrometer (MS).
Gas-Solid Chromatography (GSC)
* The stationary phase is a solid adsorbent, such as activated charcoal or silica gel.
* The sample is vaporized and injected into the column.
* The components of the sample are separated based on their different adsorption strengths onto the stationary phase.
* The separated components are detected by a detector, such as a thermal conductivity detector (TCD) or a flame ionization detector (FID).
Comparison of GLC and GSC
| Feature | GLC | GSC |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Stationary phase | Liquid coated on a solid support | Solid adsorbent |
| Separation mechanism | Based on different interactions with stationary and mobile phases | Based on different adsorption strengths onto the stationary phase |
| Detection | FID, MS | TCD, FID |
| Applications | Analysis of volatile organic compounds, environmental pollutants, and pharmaceuticals | Analysis of gases, such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen |
Overall, GLC is more widely used than GSC due to its versatility and ability to separate a wider range of compounds.
