Study Notes
Factors Contributing to Zone Broadening
- Three main factors contribute to zone broadening: longitudinal diffusion, eddy diffusion, and resistance to mass transfer
Longitudinal Diffusion
- Degree of band broadening in longitudinal diffusion depends on the ratio of column length to particle diameter
- Longitudinal diffusion is not very important in liquid chromatography when the flow rate is high or the column is packed with small particles
- Band broadening as a result of longitudinal diffusion depends on the column length, particle diameter, and diffusion coefficient
Equation and Terminology
- HL = L1 DM / V represents the equation for band broadening as a result of longitudinal diffusion
- HL represents the height equivalent to a theoretical plate
- Resistance to mass transfer or mass transfer diffusion refers to the hindrance to the solute molecules' movement in the column
