Gas Chromatographic Separation of Stereoisomeric Trichloroheptanes using Organo-clay Complexes

Abstract

SINCE White1 has shown that dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bentonite is particularly suitable as a stationary phase for the chromatographic separation of aromatic and aliphatic compounds, several authors have shown the ability of this material to separate aromatic isomers, for example, xylenes, toluidines, cresols2, dichlorobenzenes3. The performance of organo-clays was improved by modification with conventional liquid stationary phases4.
