4. Analysis by gas chromatography

For individual VOC analysis, gas chromatography (GC) is the technique of choice. The only application using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (see article [P 1 455] ) is the analysis of carbonyl compounds.

This section briefly describes the principle of GC and the specificities of VOC analysis. For more detailed information on this technique, please refer to specialized books and several articles in Techniques de l'Ingénieur:
