Abstract

Retention times of 21 volatile solvents were determined on a mesoporous carbon adsorbent stationary
phase by gas chromatography at various column temperatures and the energy of adsorption
was calculated from the dependence of the retention time on the column temperature.
Energies of adsorption showed high variations proving that the carbon stationary phase is suitable
for separation of this class of analytes. Quantitative structure-retention computations demonstrated
that the strength of adsorption significantly depends on the molecular volume, indicating
the dominant role of sterical correspondence in the adsorption.
