SummaryPart of this work focuses on temperature programmed retention index assessment of 70 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using a methylsilicone capillary column. The use of the retention index presented here offers a good possibility of identifying and determining PAHs in the mass range discussed and to apply such conditions to the analysis of fuel and fuel deposits. Retention indices and vaporization enthalpy data of PAHs are linearly related to the molecular total energy. This paper describes also a gas-chromatographic study of the adsorption of some PAHs on Carbopack.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
