Study Notes
Linear Chromatography Peaks
- Gaussian peaks are produced if the separation obeys the distribution constant equation.
Distribution Constant (K)
- The distribution constant (K) in linear chromatography is expressed as: K = Cs / Cp
Chromatography Variables
- tM represents the time spent in the mobile phase in chromatography.
- The average linear velocity of solute (V') is expressed as: V' = u / (1 + k)
- U represents the linear velocity of the mobile phase in the context of linear chromatography.
Zone Broadening
- Zone broadening in chromatography is contributed to by multiple factors, including eddy diffusion, longitudinal diffusion, and mass transfer diffusion.
Longitudinal Diffusion
- The equation HL = L / V DM represents the height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) in chromatography.
- Longitudinal diffusion significantly contributes to band broadening in liquid chromatography when the flow rate is low.
- The main factor contributing to zone broadening in mass transfer diffusion is the rate of equilibration between the stationary and mobile phases.
- The parameters that affect the degree of band broadening in longitudinal diffusion are the coefficient of longitudinal diffusion, the linear velocity of the mobile phase, and the particle diameter of the stationary phase.
