Gas chromatography is one of the most important techniques used to characterize gas composition of geochemical samples. This work presents a new gas chromatography setting to characterize gaseous composition using three detectors: a Flame Ionization Detector (FID), a Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) and a Flame Photometric Detector (FPD). The new gas chromatography setting developed is able to quantify hydrocarbons gases (C1-C5) and non-hydrocarbons (H2S, CO, CO2, N2, O2 and H2) in only one injection and in the same analysis. This alternative gas chromatography is able to reduce time of analysis and save sample that can be used for other kind of analyses... View More»
