The reversed-flow gas chromatography (RF-GC) technique was used to study the evaporation rate and estimating the diffusion coefficient of samples. The RF-GC system comprises of six-port valve, sampling and diffusion column, detector and modified commercial gas chromatography machine. Selected long chain of hydrocarbons (99.99% purity) was used as samples. The solute (stationary phase) were carried out by carrier gas (mobile phase) to the detector. The data obtained from the RF-GC analysis were analysed by deriving the elution curve of the sample peaks using mathematical expression to find the diffusion coefficients values of respective liquids. The values obtained were compared with theoretical values to ensure the accuracy of readings. The interesting findings of the research showed the theoretical values of equilibrium at liquid-gas interphase lead to profound an agreement with the experimental evidence, which contributes for the references of future studies.

AbstractDiffusion coefficients of four organic solvents: dichloromethane, trichloromethane, tetrachloromethane and n-hexane in polyethylene particles at infinite dilution were determined by use of inverse gas chromatography (IGC). The polymer particles were used as supplied by the producer to pack the chromatographic columns. This allowed a direct measurement of the interested properties in a particle with the same morphology obtained at the reactor outlet. The particle morphology was investigated and classical mathematical model for chromatographic process was adopted based upon the analysis of particle microstructure. It was found that the limitation step for mass transfer was in the polymer matrix rather than in macropores, and when interpreted in terms of diffusion coefficients for spherical particles, the measured diffusion coefficients compared favourably with predicted values from literature relationships and free volume theory.
