Abstract
gas chromatography is an efficient process employed for the separation and determination of various analytes. With the use of a flame ionization detector, gas chromatography can be specifically applied to the chromatographic separation of organic compounds. There are very few processes of analytical study which provide the means to both separate and quantitatively analyze a substance. This useful technique utilized by the chromatographic process allows analytes to disperse from their corresponding mixtures, and subsequently presents an efficient means as to their detection and analysis. This advantageous process allows the detection of various environmental toxins created by incomplete oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels. (Cassalman, et.al 2007) This fractional combustion of hydrocarbon fuels will often result in the production of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and are regarded as significant pollutants in the environment. (Cassalman, et.al 2007) This analysis involves the determination of these polycyclic compounds in a sample by means of three chromatographic methods, and their relative efficiencies with regards to the levels and peak signals of the analyte substances.
