Thermodynamic Characteristics of the Sorption and Separation of Pyridine Derivatives Using Pyrazinoporphirazine Based Sorbents

Abstract

The retardation factors and specific retention volumes of pyridine and its derivatives are determined via inverse gas chromatography in the 130–170°C range of temperatures on packed columns with silicone-based XE-60 stationary phases and additives of camphor-substituted tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine or its copper complex. The separation factors of sorbates with close boiling temperatures are calculated, and the high separation ability of the binary XE-60 silicone–pyrazinoporphyrazine Cu(II) complex phase is established. The thermodynamic characteristics of the sorption of pyridine and methyl- and dimethylpyridine isomers from the gas phase are determined along with the macroheterocyclic compound–sorbate complexation constants and thermodynamic parameters. The high selectivity of a sorbent based on XE-60 silicone and the copper complex of camphor-substituted tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine is substantiated thermodynamically.
