Abstract

Gas chromatographic analysis of automobile gasoline and lighter gas using phenyl-modified Aleppo bentonite was developed. The particles of Aleppo bentonite which have diameter (150-250 μm) were thermally treated and washed by concentrated HCl. Aleppo bentonite was grafted by dimethyldichlorosilane, then, it was reacted with phenyl magnesium bromide (BAphenyl). The surface properties of BA and BA phenyl were characterized by nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and differential thermal analysis. It was found that, the BET surface areas (SBET) was 11.86 and 4.21 m2/g, the total pore volume vp was (0.0388 and 0.01547 mL/g) and the mean pores radii ra were (65.43 and 73.49 Å), respectively. Thirty six hydrocarbons components in gasoline and seven in lighter gas were determined by using BA phenyl as support in gas chromatographic analysis. The principle gasoline components groups (total C5 to total C10) were presented as follows: 0.001, 0.28, 14.76, 34.16, 13.07, 25.13, 11.59 and 0.76 % and lighter gas percent (propane, isobutane and n-butane) as follows: 3.03-48.49, 29.03-45.75 and 20.88-67.27 %, respectively.
