Chromatography
Chromatography
separation of the components of the mixture due to differences adsorption by the stationary phase and solubility in the mobile phase.
TYPES OF CHROMATOGRAPHY
Type Liquidliquid Liquid-solid examples Paper HPLC Column TLC Gas Mobile Phase Liquid solvent system Liquid solvent system High-boiling pt. liquid Stationary phase Adsorbed water on the surface of the paper Adsorbent material (silica gel) Inert gas
Gas-Liquid
Stationary Phase It is fixed in place; either in a column or a planar surface Mobile Phase is a solvent or solvent system used to carry the components of a mixture through a stationary phase polarity of the eluent/solvent affects the relative rates at which compounds move through the column

Step 2: Development of Chromatogram - solvent rises by capillary action up through the adsorbent - differential partitioning occurs between the components of the mixture dissolved in the solvent and the stationary adsorbent phase CHROMATOGRAM pattern formed by substances that have been separated by chromatography output or result of the chromatographic technique Step 4: Documentation and Interpretation of Data
Rf value
- is characteristic for any given compound on the same stationary phase using the same mobile phase for development of the plates - it depends on the following parameters: solvent system adsorbent amount of material spotted temperature
