Analysis of Permanent Gases and Methane with the Agilent 6820 Gas Chromatograph

Abstract: The analysis of permanent gases using the Agilent 6820 equipped with a single filament Thermal Conductivity Detector is described. For these applications, the Agilent 6820 gas chromatography system was configured with a gas sampling valve, isolation valve, and purged-packed inlet. Agilent Cerity for Chemical QA/QC was used to control the 6820 GC and to provide data acquisition and date analysis. HP-PLOT Q and HP-Molsieve 5A columns were used for separation of permanent gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and methane. Carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, and methane were analyzed at the level of 10 ppm. In this application note, benefits of the Agilent 6820 Thermal Conductivity Detector are also discussed.
