GC/GCMS PROCESS

© 2019 Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) 1


Gas Chromatography Process
 Gas chromatography (GC) is a common
type of chromatography used in analytical
chemistry for separating and analyzing
compounds that can be vaporized without
decomposition.
 Testing the purity of a particular substance,
or separating the different components of a
mixture (the relative amounts of such
components can also be determined)
 Usually an inert gas such as helium or an
unreactive gas such as nitrogen is injected
to facilitate the “mobile phase”. They are
known as the carrier gas.
 The aliphatic and aromatic fractions are
dissolved in hexane (solvent).
 The GC oven is held at 80 degree Celcius
for 1 minute, and warmed at 4-6 degree
Celcius per minute to about 300 degree
Celcius. This will be held for 20 minutes.
The run time of analysis will be determined
by the programmed analyst.

Internal
Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry Process
 Provide a molecular weight of a compound.
 Able to differentiate mixes of several components that may coelute, but the individual
molecular species must be differ in molecular weight.
 Allows simultaneous analysis of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons, acid gaseous (CO 2 and
H2S) and inert gases (Nitrogen).

Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry Process

Metallic filament ionizes each compound by ionizing a small quantity of


material, during which multiple fragments of the molecule may be produced.
