During the experiments, samples were taken from both phases and analyzed in a Perkin Elmer Clarus 500® (PerkinElmer Inc., U.S.A.) gas chromatograph equipped with a 30 m SLB SUPELCO® (Supelco, Inc., U.S.A.) column with a 0.25 mm x 0.25 µm cross section, thus generating concentration profiles of all components over time. Exemplary for our experimental results, figure 4 shows the concentration profiles of the intermediate COH and the final product CCI in the organic phase of experiment 2 as well as the corresponding simulated values using the mathematical model described in the previous chapter. The experiment shown in figure 4 has a total duration of 80 hours: during the first 65 h, the aqueous cycle is running without the organic cycle, allowing for a separate evaluation of the reactions as well as sufficient intermediate formation leading to a clearer concentration profile in the later connected organic cycle.
