methanol + gases
Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2015 2:21 am
Hello Everyone,
I have a problem with GC analysis, I hope you can help me.
I have an effluent (gas) coming out of a reactor that has more or less the following composition:
70% H2
20% CO2
and 1-3% of each of these: CO, methanol and water
I have a GC equipped with a carboxen 1000 column with a TCD detector.
Currently, I cannot see if this column is able to separate those components, because the GC-Pc communication is not working. That's why I would like to know in advance if this column is OK for my process and see if I have to change the column or the GC configuration.
I know that a FID with methanizer would be excellent for having an excellent quantification of CO, CO2 and methanol. I am thinking in purchasing one once I am sure that I get the separation.
Do you think that the carboxen 1000 is able to separate all those gases?
Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
