Chapter 26 Intro to Chromatography CHM 411 Spring 2013 Suroviec
I. Classification of Chromatographic Methods • Method for separating components of a mixtures based on their relative affinities for 2 different phases
Resolution of Gaussian peaks of equal area and amplitude. Dashed lines show individual peaks, and solid lines are the sum of two peaks. Overlapping area is shaded.
II Migration Rates of Solutes A. Distribution constants
C. Relative migration rates • We want the peaks to be base-line resolved.
III. Zone broadening • Ideal peak shape is gaussian • Variables: number of phase transfers, residence time in phases
B. Rate Theory • Explains why peaks broaden consider solute band moving though the column
C. Van deemter Equation A = multiple flow paths
B/u = longitudinal diffusion Solute continuously diffuses away from the concentrated center of its zone
Csu + Cmu = mass transfer coefficient The slower the linear flow the more complete the equilibration and the less the zone broadening
IV. Optimizing Performance • Reduce zone broadening • Alter relative migration rates
A. Resolution • Calculate efficiency needed for required resolution
B. Ways to increase performance 1. Increase N 2. Change k’ 3. Change selectivity factor
