Features: This volume focuses on the analytical methods, common techniques, and applications of gas chromatography (GC), serving as a practical reference book for general GC technicians and operators. Many of the discussions and recommendations on operational issues are based on the author's 18 years of experience in GC and teaching. After the overview of the chapter, the second chapter briefly discusses the basic theory of chromatography, the third chapter covers the instrument components and operation of GC, and the fourth chapter focuses on various injection techniques of GC, such as packed column injection, capillary column splitless/injection, cold on-column injection, programmed temperature vaporization injection, large-volume injection, and valve injection. The fifth chapter provides a general overview of the applications of capillary GC, followed by two dedicated chapters that offer detailed introductions to headspace GC and pyrolysis GC. The eighth chapter discusses several rapidly developing GC technologies in recent years, including fast gas chromatography, retention time locking, micro gas chromatography and its applications, high-temperature gas chromatography and its applications, as well as multidimensional gas chromatography and its applications.
