Description:This work highlights the effect of the stationary phase coating process on the separation efficiency of gas chromatography microcolumns. The stationary phase coating quality was characterized by three different bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (NTf|) anion based ionic liquids. The ionic liquids containing NTf| anion are used for gas chromatography due to their high temperature stability. In this work, the chemical and physical approaches of column deactivation as well as the temperature treatment were evaluated by separating a mixture of 20 organic components and saturated alkanes. The results show that higher oven temperature treatment provides higher efficiency while losing a bit of peak symmetry. The thermal treated 1-butylpyridinum bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [BPY][NTf|] stationary phase at 240°C demonstrated as high as 8300 plates per meter for naphthalene. This was a 5-fold increase in separation efficiency in comparison to those of the columns treated at 200°C. Albeit being within acceptable ranges, the peak tailing degraded from 1.17 to 1.46 for naphthalene when the processing temperature for coating increased. Both chemical and physical deactivation process increased separation efficiencies and peak resolution.
