Liquid Chromatographic Analysis of Nitrocellulose-Base Propellants

Abstract

A procedure has been developed that is able to predict the optimum conditions for separation of the ingredients of a complex mixture by liquid chromatography. The procedure involves establishing a data base of retention times for a large number of propellant ingredients in 7 predetermined combinations of 3 solvents. When a new combination of some of these ingredients is encountered, a computer analysis of the retention times of the ingredients from the data base will predict the best solvent composition to separate all the ingredients. The details of the procedure and several examples of its use are discussed.
