I want to carry on steam reforming of butane. The gas outlet includes H2, CO, CO2,CH4 and hydrocarbons including C2, C3 and C4.
What columns should I choose for this experiment?

Hi present,
I have updated the tags on your post and moved it to an application area.

Hi present,
You can use Shincarbon ST.
This column can separate H2, O2, N2, CO, CH4, CO2, C2, C3, C4...
If you don't need to separate O2 and N2, you should choose short dimension (1m).
As another technique, both Molecular sieve and PLOT Q are used as dual channel.
In this case, you use 2 injectors (or Valves) and 2 detectors.

Hi,
the column switching method is the more robust one, which also works for high percentages air in the sample. See application note A01272 for a similar setup. C3 and C4 will elute later.
