Separation of Phenol-Containing Pyrolysis Products Using Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Chromatography with Columns Based on Pyridinium Ionic Liquids

Mikhail V Shashkov and Vladimi

Abstract

The work describes the application of columns with high-polar stationary liquid phases based on pyridinium ionic liquids for GC × GC separation of bio-oil and product of coal pyrolysis. By using inverse combination columns- the first ionic liquid column, the second is HP-5 the good separation results have been obtained. In the analysis of coal pyrolysis products, the suggested approach provides a much better resolution between components in comparison with a less polar first-dimension column (ZB-WAX). The good selectivity for peaks of phenols is observed, and the group of phenols is well detached and separated from the group of diaromatics. For bio-oil also good separation picture was obtained, the groups of phenols and guaiacol derivatives are distinguished with good resolution of substances within each group.
