Frontal Analysis or Displacement • Frontal Analysis Concepts • Continuously add sample to front of column • Monitor components as they elute (exit from column) • Provides a general measure of how compounds are retained on column • Example - Charcoal flitration • Frontal Analysis Process • Materials (solute) move down a column of packed material by being displaced by a more highly retained solute
