“…A comparison of the results of Hg-porosimetry, electron microscopy, and GC studies of six supports proved Chromosorb W to have the best physical properties (14®)• A new kind of diatomite solid support has been characterized after various hydrothermic, heating, and chemical treatments (143). Various washing, heat treatment, and silanization methods have reduced the adsorptive and catalytic properties of the diatomaceous supports (961, 967,998). Elderberry cellulose, Juncus glaucus cellulose, and pink and white diatomites were evaluated as column packings and then chemically modified by methylation, nitration, trifluoroacetylation, and cycanoethylation to study the polarity effects (739).…”
