Chromatography

A technique used to separate components of a mixture based on their different affinities for two phases: a stationary phase and a mobile phase.

Stationary Phase

The phase in chromatography that is held stationary. It can be a solid, liquid, or a combination of both.

Mobile Phase

The phase in chromatography that moves over the stationary phase. It can be a gas or liquid.

Sample Migration

The process in chromatography where the sample is carried along by the mobile phase.

Study Notes

Methods of Separations

  • Chromatography is a broad term encompassing various techniques, ranging from planar to high-pressure liquid chromatography
  • Chromatography uses two phases: stationary and mobile
  • The stationary phase remains fixed, while the mobile phase moves over it
  • Solutes are separated based on their differential distribution between the two phases (e.g., differential adsorption or partitioning)
  • Separation methods can be categorized by the physical states of the involved phases or by the separation mechanism

Classification by Phase States

  • Table 4 details the classification based on the physical state of the two phases (mobile & stationary)
  • Examples are provided, such as gas-solid chromatography (GSC) and variations of liquid chromatography, including gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), paper chromatography (PC), thin-layer chromatography (TLC), high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and ion-exchange chromatography.
  • Different separation mechanisms are tied to each respective state

Classification by Separation Mechanism

  • Table 5 outlines classification based on the separation mechanism, including adsorption and partition chromatography
  • Adsorption chromatography, though less reliable, is based on adsorption which separates the solutes.
  • Partition chromatography relies on the differential solubility of the solute in two immiscible liquids, a process more effective and reliable than adsorption techniques
  • Differential solubility is governed by the Nernst's distribution law, where the ratio of solute concentration in both immiscible phases remains constant under a constant temperature and with equal molecular condition.
