Evaluation of Rate Coefficients and Diffusion Coefficients of Evaporated n-Heptane using RF-GC Methodologies

The cases of environmental contamination and toxicity originated from liquid pollutants are increasing from time to time. A fast and accurate technique is needed to study the physicochemical properties of respective liquid pollutants. Reversed-flow gas chromatography, which is a sub-technique of inverse gas chromatography, is an experimental arrangement simulating a simple model for the action of liquid pollutants in laboratory scale. By using a commercial gas chromatograph and an appropriate mathematical analysis, kinetic parameters such as rate coefficients, k(c) and diffusion coefficients, D of analyzed liquid were calculated. These physicochemical properties of the liquid experimented will contribute to the references for future research in the area of environment, food, agriculture as well as physical sciences.
