ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the main results of gas-liquid-solid chromatography development that were discussed in this book. New trends have been formed in partition chromatography which consider both processes taking place during separation: namely, partition (absorption) and adsorption of analyzed compounds on SLP-mobile phase and SLP-solid support interface. This trend has been developed in detail for gas chromatography. Adsorption phenomena were shown to play an important role in gas-liquid-solid chromatography; they can significantly affect (both qualitatively and quantitatively) the primary characteristics of chromatography analysis; namely, retention, efficiency, separation, and qualitative and quantitative results. New invariant retention values defined only by partition coefficients in gas-SLP systems have been proposed.
