    Study Notes

    Factors Contributing to Zone Broadening

    • Three main factors contribute to zone broadening: longitudinal diffusion, eddy diffusion, and mass transfer

    Longitudinal Diffusion

    • Band broadening as a result of longitudinal diffusion is described by the equation: σ² = 2DT
    • Where σ² is the variance, D is the diffusion coefficient, and T is time
    • Longitudinal diffusion is not very important in liquid chromatography when the flow rate is high
    • The degree of band broadening in longitudinal diffusion depends on the diffusion coefficient of the analyte, the time spent in the column, and the flow rate
    • A decrease in band broadening as a result of longitudinal diffusion is contributed by a high flow rate and a low diffusion coefficient of the analyte
