Gas Chromatography of Cigarette Smoke, Part III. Separation of the Overlap Region of Gas and Particulate Phase by Capillary Columns

Abstract

Following the investigation of gas phase constituents boiling within the range of 20–100°C, as presented in Part II, the section of less volatile substances with boiling points between 100 and 200°C has been studied. The separation by capillary columns is demonstrated, and 64 substances are indicated as probable gas phase constituents. The partition of certain substances between gas phase and particulate phase is shown to be of great importance. Some influences upon the partition equilibrium, for instance charcoal filters, are discussed.
