Separations of argon, oxygen, nitrogen, krypton, methane and carbon monoxide have been investigated using acid treated clinoptilolite tuffs as column packings.
Argon (methane), oxygen and nitrogen were separated but not completely, on untreated clinoptilolite tuff (SiO₂/Al₂O₃=9.9) and 0.01N-HCl treated clinoptilolite tuff (SiO₂/Al₂O₃=10.2) columns at 30°C of column temperature.
Increasing of the acid concentration, retention times of argon and methane came to be longer by the enlargement of pore size of the smaller void in clinoptilolite. Therefore, argon and oxygen tended to elute only with overlap and methane eluted after nitrogen. Argon (oxygen), nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide were completely separated on the acid treated clinoptilolite tuff of which the ratio of silica to alumina were between 13 and 20 (0.5-3N HCl and 0.5-6N H₂SO₄ treated specimens). Elution peak of krypton was overlapped with that of nitrogen or methane.
