Evaluating gas chromatography detectors: A comparative study for precise sulfur hexafluoride analysis
Abstract
Gas chromatography (GC) is a versatile analytical technique widely employed for the determination of various compounds, including sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). SF6 is a potent greenhouse gas and its accurate measurement is crucial for environmental monitoring and industrial applications. Different detectors in GC offer varying sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limits, affecting the precision and accuracy of SF6 quantification. This article provides a comprehensive evaluation of different GC detectors for the precise determination of SF6, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and applicability.
