Preferred Label : gas-solid chromatography;
IUPAC definition : Comprises all gas chromatographic methods in which the stationary phase is an active
solid (e.g. charcoal, molecular sieves). Separation is achieved by adsorption of the
components of a sample. In gas chromatography the distinction between gas-liquid and
gas-solid may be obscure because liquids are used to modify solid stationary phases,
and because the solid supports for liquid stationary phases affect the chromatographic
process. For classification by the phases used, the term relating to the predominant
effect should be chosen.;
