Developments towards the comprehensive analysis of petrochemical streams

“…The analysis of any one of these phases is very challenging. Typical oil phase samples may contain thousands of compounds. In many cases, complete characterisation of these complex samples is possible with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC), but even with the increase in separation power obtained by comprehensive GC, peak co-elution still occurs when complex samples are analysed. …”
