The addition of cobalt(II) chloride to Carbowax
20 M led to a significant increase in relative retention
parameters for methanol and ethanol, while these
parameters for the other substances changed slightly
or even considerably decreased (Table 3). The published
data on retention indexes for Carbowax 20 M
are presented in Table 3 for comparison [4]. Therefore,
the addition of cobalt(II) chloride to Carbowax
20 M considerably enhanced adsorption properties
only to the lowest aliphatic alcohols.
