A method is presented for separating ortho-H/sub 2/, para-H/sub 2/, HD, and D/sub 2/ from each other and obtaining four separate peaks on a single chromatogram. In this method, two chromatographic columns are used in series; the first one is active alumina, while the second is active alumina coated with ferric oxide. The column temperature is --195 ts C, and helium is used as carrier gas. Four peaks result with 6 to 10 min retention times. Two experimental runs indicate that the analytic performance of the method is satisfactory. (D.L.C.)
