Simple separation VS Chromatographic separation Principle of simple separation (exp partitioning between phases): • The separation occurs only one direction • Increase efficiency by using fresh extracting phase. The principle of chromatographic separation: extracting the solutes back and forth between fresh portion of the two phases. The two phases used are called the mobile phase and the stationary phase.
Chromatography • Chromatography is the separation of a mixture based on the different degrees to which they interact with two separate material phases: • The two phases are: • The stationary phase • The mobile phase
The stationary phase – a phase that is fixed in place either in a column or in a planar surface. The stationary phase is either a porous solid used alone or coated with a stationary liquid phase. • The mobile phase – a phase that moves over or through the stationary phase, carrying with it the analyte mixture. It is also called the eluting fluid. The mobile phase can be a gas, a liquid, or a supercritical fluid.
Column VS Planar chromatography • Principle of column chromatography: The stationary phase is placed in a narrow column through which the mobile phase moves under the influence of gravity or pressure.
Principle of planar chromatography The stationary phase coats a flat glass, metal, or plastic plate and is placed in a developing chamber. A reservoir containing the mobile phase is placed in contact with the stationary phase, and the mobile phase moves by capillary action. Exp paper chromatography and Thin layer chromatography.
Next presentation!(G12) • Elaborate the following procedures in using gas chromatography • Extraction • Standard solution • Calibration curve • Peak area determination Your references • Practical manual • Text book
Chromatographic Techniques • Classified according to the type of equilibration process involved. Equilibration process control by the type of stationary phase. • Adsorption Chromatography • The stationary phase is a solid. • Sample components are adsorbed on the solid stationary phase. • The mobile phase may be a liquid or a gas. • The sample components are distribute between the two phases through a combination of sorption and desorption process. • Example: Thin layer chromatography.
Chromatographic Techniques 2. Partition Chromatography • The stationary phase is a liquid supported on an inert solid. • The mobile phase may be a liquid or a gas. • In normal-phase C: a polar SP and non-polar MP is used for nonpolar solutes. • In reversed-phase C:nonpolar SP and polar MP is used for polar solutes. • Reversed phase is the most widely used.
Chromatographic Techniques 3. Ion Exchange and 4. Size Exclusion Chromatography
GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY (GC) • A chromatographic technique in which the mobile phase is a gas. • Parts of GC are: - The mobile phase - The stationary phase - Sample introductions - Temperature control - Detectors
Principle of Gas Chromatography • Sample should be converted to vapor state (if it is not already a gas). • Separation occurs as the vapor constituents equilibrate between carrier gas and the SP. • The sample is automaticaly detected by detector. • Measuring the retention time and comparing this time with that of a standard of a pure substances make it possible to identify the peak. • Since the area of the peak is porpotional to the concentration, and so the amount of the substance can be quantitatively determined. • The peak height can be compared with a calibration curved prepared in a same manner.
Assignment-Group • Based in the given diagram, explain functions of each part of the GC.
Importance parts of GC There are three parts most important for GC • The columns • The detectors • The mobile phase gas supply
The Columns • Commonly used columns are packed columns and capillary columns. Packed Column • About 1-10 m long and 0.2-0.6 cm in diameter. • Short columns made of glass and longer columns made of stainless steel or can also made of Teflon.
Functions of GC Columns • To contain the stationary phase and the passing way of the mobile phase. • The site where the separation of analyte occurs. • To provide analysis in terms of resolution, sensitivity and retention time.
The Detectors • Over 40 detectors have been developed since the introduction of GC. • Commonly used detectors • Thermal Conductivity Detector (TDC) - The original detector 2. Flame Ionization Detector (FID) - The most sensitive and widely used detector for organic compounds. 3. Flame Photometric Detectors (FPD)
Functions of Detectors • To respond to compounds analysed. • To automatically detect the sample as it emerges from the column.
The mobile phase gas supply • Usually an inert gas that available in pure form such as argon, helium or nitrogen. • A highly dense gas is more effective. • The choice of gas determine by the type of detector. Functions: • To bring along gas and injected compounds throughout the column up to detector. • To provide equilibration between the carrier gas and the stationary phase for compounds separation.
Sample Introduction • Must consider three rules: • All constituents injected into GC must be volatile. • The analyte must be present at an appropriate concentration. • Injecting the sample must not degrade the separation (thermally stable).
Volatile Sample • A volatile compound is a compound that easily evaporated because of their low molecular weight. • In GC, the sample constituents need to be volatiled in order to move through the column. • Nonvolatile solutes will condense on the column, degrading the column’s performance.
Exp. of volatile compounds are from the monoterpenoids group (limonene, linalool, champor, menthol etc.) Applications of GC • Widely used for the analysis of diverse array of samples in environmental, clinical, pharmaceutical, biochemical, forensic, food science and petrochemical laboratories.
Liquid Chromatography • High performance Liquid Chromaography • Size Exclusion • Ion Exchange
HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY • Analyze sample in liquid form. • The sample carried through a chromatographic column by a liquid mobile phase. • Parts of HPLC are: - HPLC column - The mobile phases - The stationary phases - Sample introductions - HPLC plumbing - Detectors
Ion Exchange Chromatography The principle • To separate inorganic ions, both cations and anions. • Separate based on exchange of ions in the stationary phase. • The stationary phase consists of beads made of polystyrene polymer crosslinked with divinylbenzene.
