Thin-layer chromatography in the heavy organic industries.
The technique of thin-layer chromatography, as practised in the organic industrial laboratory, is described and its applications to the analysis of petroleum hydrocarbons, fuels, lubricants, polymers, plastics and their additives, non-ionic surfactants and explosives are reviewed. The role of thin-layer chromatography in the conservation of the environment is also considered.
