Question

What kinds of mixtures are separated by$GSC?$

Short answer

Tiny (inorganic) gas molecules such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and others are separated using this technique.

Step-by-step solution

Definition of GSC

$GSC$is a form of $GC$in which the stationary phase and support are made of the same material. Chemicals are kept in this process through adsorption on the support's surface.

Inorganic materials such as silica or alumina are frequently used as this support.

Usage of GSC

Gas-solid chromatography ($GSC$) is a type of chromatography that uses gas as the mobile phase and solid as the stationary phase.

An appropriate adsorbent is used in the role of solid.

Smaller (inorganic) gas molecules such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and others are separated using this technique.
