I want to seperate propylene oxide from mixture of C3-C4 hydrocarbons and C3-C4 oxygenates (mainly aldeydes). Can anyone help me to choice an adequate packed column?

A polar polyester such as BMEA on 100/120 Chromosorb W-AW HMDS (USP support S1A) or a Porous Polymer such as Porapak Q 100/120 would be good starting points. Glass or deactivated metal column would be preferred. 1% SP-1000 on Carbopack B 80/100 would be another suggestion.

A boiling point (PDMS) capillary column thick film could be used.
