Kore KRGC-MEOH 203 Gas Chromatograph for Methanol Purity and Impurity Analysis

The gas chromatograph for methanol purity and impurity analysis is a dedicated GC system designed for coal‑chemical, fine‑chemical, and solvent‑production enterprises. It is primarily used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of key components in industrial methanol, purified methanol, and chemical solvents, including methanol content, ethanol, acetone, aldehydes and ketones, and organic impurities.
Applicable samples include industrial-grade methanol, refined methanol, recycled methanol, chemical solvents, and alcohol-based raw materials. Analytical parameters encompass methanol purity, ethanol, acetone, methyl formate, dimethyl ether, aldehyde and ketone impurities, as well as volatile organic impurities.
