28、t cut technique. The analyser is based upon the principle described by D.R. Deans 3. This technique controls the pressure between two columns and directs the effluent of a (pre) column to usually two columns, an analytical column and a monitor column. By using columns of a very different nature as p

29、re column and analytical column (e.g. a non-polar and a polar column) separations can be achieved that are difficult to obtain using a single column. This allows the analysis of methanol to be independent of any impurities or high boiling material that may be present in the sample. The method uses e

30、xternal standard calibration. The sample is injected onto a methyl silicone pre column which elutes the methanol and part of the ethanol plus any light hydrocarbons to the analytical column (Figure 1). After methanol has fully eluted onto the analytical column, the valve and thus a Pressure Control

31、Module (PCM) pressure is switched and the components coming from the pre column are directed to the monitor column (Figure 2). The methanol is now separated from the ethanol and hydrocarbons on the analysis column and detected by the Flame Ionization Detector. The detector response, which is proport

32、ional to the component concentration, is recorded. The peak areas are measured and the concentration of methanol is calculated using the response factor from the external standard calibration.
