The separation of fatty alcohols has been accomplished by using a nonpolar substrate on a solid support treated with alkali to reduce adsorptivity. By this technique well‐resolved symmetrical peaks are obtained, and the stability of a nonpolar substrate is retained. Relative detector sensitivity factors have been determined for the alcohols with chain lengths of C 8 through C 18 , permitting a correction of peak areas. The response of the detector is approximately a linear function of chain length for the n‐alcohols. The accuracy and precision of the determination have been studied by a statistical comparison of the results of replicate values with values from known compositions.
