Adam Hasham, Sam Heavenrich, Jayanth Prakhya, Enoch Tieu Chromatographic Separation
Chromatography • Separates mixtures (physical method) • Involves: • Stationary Phase; Surface • Mobile Phase; Solvent • Quantifiable: • Retention Factor / Rate of Flow (Rf) • Can be: • Preparative: separates mixture for further use • Analytical: measures relative proportions of components • Preparative more easily studied Rf = Distance traveled by solute/Distance traveled by solvent
History • Mikhail SemenovichTsvett • Separate Tints / Types of Chromatography • Trickled mixture through glass tube with Calcium Carbonate powder • Pigments stuck to powder • Different degrees of strength Coloured bands
Types of Chromatography • Partition • Based on the thin film formed on the surface of a solid support by a liquid stationary phase • Solute equilibrates between the mobile phase and the stationary liquid. • Ion Exchange • Resin is used to covalently attach anions or cations by electrostatic forces • Solute Mobile Liquid Phase have opposite charge
Types of Chromatography • Molecular Exclusion • No attraction between stationary phase and solute • Liquid or Gaseous Mobile Phase separates molecules according to size • Affinity • Most selective • Interaction between only 1 component of solute and stationary phase molecule • Only the specific component is attracted to the stationary phase
Adsorption Chromatography • Adsorption: When a fluid solute accumulates on the surface of a solid or liquid • Different amounts of the components of a mixture are adsorbed to the 2 phases • As mobile phase moves through stationery phase, the substances that are easily adsorbed will ‘lag’ • Separation created
Paper Chromatography • Archer JP Martin and Richard LM Synge in 1941 • Strip of porous filter paper substituted for powder • Used to separate proteins • Later used to Separate and Identify components of various mixtures • In industrial settings, Paper Chromatography has been replaced by more sophisticated methods
Common Practice for Paper Chromatography • Place a drop of a mixture on the paper • Dip one edge of the paper into the mobile phase • Through capillary action, adsorbent will move up the paper • Once adsorption occurs and the paper dries, spray-on reagent • Reagent will reveal change in color
Experiment • Purpose: • To predict the composition of various mixtures using Paper Chromatography
Procedure • Pigment applied to Strip of Chromatography Paper • Strips hung on rack at equal lengths • Adsorbent added (70% Isopropyl Alcohol) • Rack removed once solvent travelled to the top of each strip • The final position of solvent marked • The final position of pigments marked • Distance travelled by the mobile phase and each colour measured

Rf • Defined as Rate of Flow or Retention Factor • Calculated by dividing “ Distance travelled by a component” over “ Distance travelled by the mobile phase”
Analysis – Rf Values • Rf = Degree of Adsorption • Variances caused by Intermolecular Forces • Between Solute and Mobile Phase • Solute carried further by Adsorbent / More adsorption when the forces between them are greater • Forces between Solute and Stationary Phase • More adsorbtion onto Stationary Phase when the forces between them are greater • In Both Cases: • Polarity Major Factor • H-bonding Larger Factor but capability limited • London’s Dispersion Forces Weak
Analysis • Mixture of Food Coloring • Molecular Formulas: • Red: C18H14N2Na2O8S2 • Yellow: C16H10Na2O7S2N2 • Blue: C16H10N2O2 • H-Bonding Pattern • Relatively Similar Polarity • Long Hydrocarbon Chain = Low Polarity • Cellulose Chromatography Paper • Green Coloring • Yellow and Blue Components • Yellow: C16H9N4Na3O9S2 • Blue: C16H10N2O2 • Same Blue Dye; Different Yellow Dye • Higher Polarity Due to Presence of Sodium • Higher Number of Nitrogen Atoms
Analysis • Spinach Extract • Molecular Formulas: • Yellow 1: Carotenes: C40H56 • Yellow 2: Xanthophylls: C40H56O2 • Green: Chlorophyll B: C55H70O6N4Mg • H-Bonding common • Carotenes Not-Polar • Xanthophylls’ O2
Limitations of Paper Chromatography • Pomegranate Analysis • Not Exact / Quantifiable • Not Definite Colours Subjective • Components found in mixture can’t be re-used • Neither Preparative nor Analytical • Other Types such as Gas Chromatography provide the components in usable form • Prior Knowledge Required of Components • Only Identifiable if known • Incorrect Identifications
Limitations of Paper Chromatography • All Rf Values are Relative • Paper & Some Types of Thin Layer Chromatography • Other Methods • Distribution Constant and Concentration More Reliable • Freundlich Equation for Adsorption • Kovats Retention Index • Van Deemter Equation Below: More sophisticated methods of quantifying chromatography results
Experimental Notes • Safety Concerns • Safety Goggles must be worn at all times • Any contact with the alcohol must be avoided • Alcohol is Very Flammable and requires a well-ventilated area • Modifications • More Sample Pigments • Various Adsorbents • The more data, the more definite the results
Applications of Adsorption Chromatography • Thin-Layer Chromatography • Gas Chromatography (In Column) • Liquid Chromatography
Applications of Adsorption Chromatography • Thin-Layer Chromatography • Mobile Phase: Solution; Stationary Phase: Flat Sheet of Adsorbent (e.g. Silica Gel) • Analyzing organic reactions • Components are separated using TLC plates • They can then be scraped off to be analyzed • Other Applications • assaying radiochemical purity of radiopharmaceuticals • Plant pigments • detection of pesticides or insecticides
