Abstract
This article describes the effect of modification with organic bases such as uracil (U) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) on the adsorption and chromatographic properties of poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP) used as a stationary phase (SP) in packed and capillary columns. It was shown that the sorbents prepared on the basis of diatomite Chromosorb P NAW support and successively modified with 9 wt.% PTMSP and 1 wt.% U (or PEI) (PC-U and PC-PEI samples, respectively), have a mesoporous structure. The IR spectrum shows the presence of carbonyl groups in the sorbent modified with uracil. The impregnation of the Chromosorb P NAW + (9/1) wt.% PTMSP sorbent with a polyethyleneimine solution leads to the appearance in the spectrum of bands characterizing NH stretching and bending vibrations, as well as a band at 1310 cm-1 which can be attributed to CN bond vibrations. The chromatographic properties of the studied sorbents differ significantly from the properties of the initial PTMSP. Packed columns PC-U and PC-PEI, as well as capillary columns with a polyethyleneimine-modified PTMSP layer, allow one to selectively separate mixtures of polar and non-polar compounds and structural isomers of hydrocarbons. Methanol on these columns is eluted in the form of a symmetrical peak separately from propane, propylene and other associated hydrocarbon impurities in commercial (technical, target) n-butane.
