An Introduction to Chromatographic

Separations

ChromatographyChronology• column chromatography• paper chromatography• gas-liquid chromatography• thin layer chromatography (TLC)• high-pressure liquid chromatography

(HPLC - high-performance liquid chromatography)

Parts of Column

• column• support• stationary phase• mobile phase

Parts of Column

Column• copper tubing• stainless steel tubing• glass tubing

Parts of Column

Support• finely divided solids

– ground firebrick– alumina, specially treated

• walls of column for capillary columns

Parts of Column

Stationary Phase• stationary phase evenly dispersed on

surface of support– column chromatography

• non-volatile, viscous liquids dispersed evenly on surface of support

Parts of Column

Stationary Phase• stationary phase evenly dispersed on

surface of support– planar chromatography

• porous paper in paper chromatography• finely ground solid spread evenly on glass or plastic

plate for tlc (thin-layer chromatography

Parts of Column

Mobile Phase• sample mixture carried through

stationary phase by mobile phase• non-reactive gas in glc (gas-liquid

chromatography, gc)• non-reactive liquid in llc (liquid-liquid

chromatography, lc)

Linear Chromatography

CsK = -----

K is T dependentCs => conc. in stationary phaseCm => conc. in mobile phase

Linear Elution Chromatography

Theories of Elution Chromatography

some zone broadeningzone separation

Theories of Elution Chromatography

N = L/Hwhere n => number of plates

L => length of columnH =>height equivalent to a

theoretical plate (HETP)

Rate Theory of Chromatography

zone shapes (Gaussian curve)

W = 4 where W =>width of peak at baseline

=>standard deviation expressed as time

H = 2/Lwhere

=>standard deviation

expressed as length

L L L2

N = ---- = ------- = -------H 2/L 2

= ------

where tR =>retention timeL/tR => rate of travel of band

therefore,LW = ---------

H = ----------16tR

N = 16 (tR /W)2

Sources of Zone Broadening

classical van Deemter EquationH = A + B/u + Cu

where A => eddy diffusionB => longitudinal diffusionu => flow rateC => mass transfer

Eddy Diffusion

A = 2dR

=>packing factordR => average diameter of

particle

• caused by many pathways• minimized by careful packing

Longitudinal Diffusion

B = 2DM

=> obstruction factorDM => diffusion coefficient of

solute in themobile phase

• minimized by lowering temperature of column oven and decreasing flow rate

Mass Transfer

qR (1 - R)df2 dR

C = -------------------- + -----------DS DM

where df => film thickness of stationary phase (most important factor)

dR =>diameter of support particle

Mass Transfer

qR (1 - R)df2 dR

C = -------------------- + -----------DS DM

where R =>retention ratio: tM /tR

DS =>diffusion coefficient for solutes in stationary phase

Mass Transfer

qR (1 - R)df2 dR

C = -------------------- + -----------DS DM

where DM =>diffusion coefficient for solutes in mobile phaseq &

=>constants for

column

modernized versionH = B/u + CSu + CMu

where CS => coefficient of mass transfer in the stationary phase

CM => coefficient of mass transfer in the mobile phase

Separations on Columns

ZRs = -------

Wwhere Rs => column resolution

W => av. width of peaksZ => time separation,

difference ofretention time

Z 2((tR )y - (tR )x )Rs = ------- = -------------------W Wx + Wy

where (tR )x => retention time, component x

(tR )y => retention time, component y

(tR )y - (tR )x (N)1/2

Rs = ------------------ * ---------(tR )y 4

EXAMPLE: Substances A and B were found to have retention times of 6.4 and 14.4 min, respectively, on a 22.6 cm column. An unretained sample of air passed through the column in 1.30 min. The widths of the peak bases were 0.45 and 1.07 min. Calculate the: (a.) column resolution
