Gas chromatography is a widely used analytical technique for separating and analyzing volatile compounds in a mixture. The basic principle relies on the differential partitioning of components between two phases: a stationary phase and a mobile phase. In gas chromatography, the mobile phase is an inert gas, such as helium or nitrogen, which carries the sample through the column. The stationary phase, typically a liquid coated on a solid support, interacts with the sample components based on their affinity.
As the sample moves through the column, each component partitions between the mobile and stationary phases. Components with higher affinity for the stationary phase will spend more time in it, resulting in slower elution, while those with lower affinity move faster with the mobile phase. This difference in retention times allows for the separation of individual components.
In gas-liquid chromatography, the separation occurs through continuous dissolution and vaporization of the analytes between the two phases. In contrast, in gas-solid chromatography, the separation is based on adsorption and desorption processes on the solid surface. Once separated, the components reach the detector, where they are identified and quantified based on their unique response.
This technique is highly sensitive and efficient, making it a fundamental tool in chemical analysis, environmental monitoring, and pharmaceutical research.
