Chromatography
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
Stationary Phase
The phase in chromatography that is held stationary. It can be a solid, liquid, or a combination of both.
Mobile Phase
Mobile Phase
The phase in chromatography that moves over the stationary phase. It can be a gas or liquid.

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.
