微量元素分析用 燃燒爐 內에서 內部酸化劑(酸化銀과 二酸化 망간의 混合物)와 함께 有機試料를 헤륨 氣流下에서 燃燒시키고 發生한 물은 칼슘카바이드管에 通하여 아세틸렌으로 變換시킨다. 二酸化炭素와 아세틸렌을 molecular sieve 5A 管에 室溫에서 吸着시킨 후 $340^{circ}C$까지 溫度${cdot}$프로그탬法으로 脫着시켜 실리카켈管을 通하여 分別流出시키고 熱傳導式 檢知器로 $CO_2$와 $C_2H_2$를 定量하는 方法을 發展시켰다. 벤조酸을 標準物質로 하여 作成한 檢量線을 使用하여 各種 有機試料中의 炭素 및 水素含量을 分析한 結果 平均誤差가 炭素의 경우 ${pm}0.5%$, 水素인 경우${pm}0.33%$ 이었다.
A new gas-chromatographic method for determining carbon and hydrogen in organic compounds has been developed. After sample combustion was performed in a regular analytical combustion tube with an internal oxidant (a mixture of silver oxide and manganese dioxide) under a helium flow, the water produced was converted to acetylene by passing through a calcium carbide tube. The carbon dioxide and acetylene were trapped by a molecular sieve 5A column at room temperature. The trapped gases were released under programmed temperature raise up to $340^{circ}C$ and the released gases were passed through a silica gel column. The adsorption of $CO_2$ and $C_2H_2$ in the molecular sieve 5A trapping column were found to be quantitative and the silica gel column showed an excellent resolution of $CO_2$ and $C_2H_2$ for analytical purpose. The analytical results for various known compounds based on the out-put of the thermal conductivity cell calibrated for the amounts of carbon and hydrogen contents in benzoic acid, showed average errors ${pm}0.5%$ and ${pm}0.33%$ for carbon and hydrogen, respectively.
