Gas chromatographic analyses of mixtures of H/sub 2/, D/sub 2/, and HD with an activated alumina column at - 195 deg C and helium as carrier gas yielded peaks for p-H/sub 2/, o-H/sub 2/ + HD, and D/sub 2/. If either the o-H/sub 2//p- H/sub 2/ or HD/D/sub 2/ ratio is known, quantitative analysis of such mixtures can be made where the HD concentration is more than 10%. In the case where neither ratio is known, peaks for HD and D/sub 2/ can be obtained by using a molecular sieve column and H/sub 2/ as carrier gas, which eliminates the o-H/sub 2/ and p-H/sub 2/ peaks.
