Most important in technology are the natural gases, containing up to 99% gaseous hydrocarbons, mainly methane and its close homologs. The following artificial gases are used: coke-oven, generator obtained from fuel gasification, blast-furnace, petroleum and petroleum-product thermal and thermochemical processing gases and gases from underground gasification of coal. In distinction from the natural gases, the artificial gases contain unsaturated hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and sometimes significant quantities of hydrogen. Gas chromatographic analysis of the composition of these gases is becoming more widely used in plant and research laboratory practice, displacing the old traditional methods. Thorough analysis of gaseous mixtures, with the exception of generator gas, includes determination of the inorganic and light hydrocarbon gases. Simultaneous gas chromatographic separation and determination of the composition of the constant and hydrocarbon gases heavier than methane presentnzene.
