Analysis of Semivolatile Organic Compounds in Fuels Using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
Tal M. Nahir
Department of Chemistry, California State University, Chico, Chico, CA 95929-0210
Cover
December 1999
Vol. 76 No. 12
p. 1695
Abstract
The analysis of diesel fuel using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is described. The experiment is especially appropriate for courses in instrumental analysis and environmental chemistry. Results from the injections of small amounts of liquid samples include total-ion- and single-ion-mode chromatograms as well as mass spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivatives. The calculation of retention indices for programmed-temperature chromatography is illustrated.
Supplement
Experimental procedure, data analysis, laboratory summary, student handout, and other information are provided.
