A gas chromatographic (GC) column using a zwitterionic compound and methods of use thereof are disclosed herein. The volatile free acids were observed to strongly retain on these zwitterionic compounds-based columns with excellent peak symmetry. By carefully tuning the structures of these zwitterionic compounds, different selectivity toward volatile free acids was demonstrated. These stationary phases possess a wide working range with thermal stabilities at higher temperatures.

The present invention includes a first flow path through which a sample gas flows, a first analyzer that is provided in the first flow path to measure total hydrocarbon concentration in the sample gas, a second flow path through which the sample gas flows, a non-methane non-ethane cutter that is provided in the second flow path to remove the hydrocarbon components other than the methane and the ethane in the sample gas, a second analyzer that is provided downstream of the non-methane non-ethane cutter in the second flow path to measure the total methane ethane concentration of the methane and the ethane in the sample gas, and a calculation part that calculates the concentration of the hydrocarbon components other than the methane and the ethane in the sample gas with use of the total hydrocarbon concentration by the first analyzer and the total methane ethane concentration by the second analyzer.

When a column is attached to an attachment location, first, a ferrule through which the column is inserted is heated and thus is fixed to the column. Then, the column to which the ferrule is fixed is attached to the attachment location. As described, when a user performs work of attaching the column to the attachment location, the ferrule is always fixed to a certain spot of the column. Therefore, it is possible to omit work of holding the ferrule such that the position of the ferrule with respect to the column does not shift when the work of attaching the column is performed. As a result, the column can be easily attached to the attachment location.

A flame photometric detector for a process gas chromatograph is provided. The flame photometric detector includes a combustion chamber body defining a combustion chamber therein. A sample inlet tube is configured to introduce a process gas sample into the combustion chamber. An ignitor is configured to initiate combustion within the combustion chamber. A thermocouple assembly is configured to provide an indication of temperature within the combustion chamber. The sample tube has an end that is adjustable relative to the combustion chamber.

The present invention relates to method and an apparatus for quantitatively analyzing a gaseous process stream, in particular a stream from a process for producing ethylene carbonate and/or ethylene glycol, in particular where such stream comprises gaseous organic iodides.
