Abstract:
Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) is a powerful analytical tool in the petrochemical industry, offering superior separation and identification of complex mixtures. Its enhanced resolution allows for detailed characterisation of hydrocarbons, impurities, and additives, providing critical insights into petroleum refining, quality control, and product development. GC×GC excels in group-type analysis, enabling the classification of chemical families within complex petrochemical samples. Despite its advantages, challenges remain in optimizing workflows, automating processes, and in data analysis. This presentation will showcase on-going advancements in hardware and software that are driving improvements, making GC×GC increasingly valuable for high-throughput and detailed petrochemical analyses.
