Abstract
IN conjunction with investigations aimed at reducing the size, weight, and carrier gas consumption of a space-borne chromatograph for breathing atmosphere analysis, an open tubular (Golay) adsorption column, capable of separating fixed gases, has been designed. Separation was achieved for hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and methane. Base-line resolution of oxygen and nitrogen was obtained as shown in Fig. 1. So far as I know, the separation of permanent gases with coated open tubular columns has not yet been reported.
