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
