pubmed-article:12541794 | pubmed:abstractText | A gas chromatographic system using home-made 7 microns thick cross-linked dimethylpolysiloxane columns for the on-line analysis of trace tetrahydrofuran in hexane in a rubber production facility was developed. The experimental parameters of the column system, including the temperature, flow rate as well as the back-flushing and heart-cutting program were investigated. The total column-switching program was suggested. The system has been successfully operated for more than one year with good resolution, stability and precision (RSD < 5%) in analyzing trace tetrahydrofuran (0-250 x 10(-6), V/V) for industrial process control in the rubber production facility. | lld:pubmed |
