Resumo

Rapid separations of selected environmentally important polar compounds using polymer-encapsulated silica stationary phases and a carbon dioxide mobile phase under solvating gas chromatography (SGC) conditions are reported. Ten underivatized short chain aldehydes and ten nitrogen-containing herbicides were separated within 1 min and 5 min, respectively, using a 30 cm×250 μm i. d. column packed with diol-bonded, polyethylenimine (PEI)-coated, and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS)-end-capped silica particles (5 μm, 120 Å). Seven organophosphorus pesticides were resolved in less than 5 min using a 30 cm×250 μm i. d. column packed with polymethylhydrosiloxane-deactivated and SE-54 encapsulated silica particles. Separation numbers per unit time increased with pressure and temperature ramps. Both rapid pressure and temperature programming can be used to increase the speed of SGC. The effects of pressure and temperature on apparent retention factors of solutes with various polarities were investigated using diol-PEI-HMDS silica particles in SGC.
