Study Notes

Chromatography

  • Traditionally, the separation of volatile mixtures is achieved through chromatography.
  • In chromatography, sample mixtures are distributed between two phases, one of which remains stationary while the other phase percolates through or over the surface of the fixed phase.

Separation of Alkaloid Bases

  • When a mixture of alkaloid bases is shaken with NaOH solution, the alkaloid bases are separated as salts.

Function of Stationary and Mobile Phases

  • The stationary phase in chromatography holds the mixture components, allowing them to interact with the mobile phase.
  • The function of the mobile phase is to transport the mixture components through the stationary phase.

Chromatography Definitions

  • An analyte is the substance being analyzed in chromatography.
  • The term chromatography was first described in detail by Michael Tswett.

Types of Chromatography

  • There are two types of chromatography that are usually adsorption chromatography: Liquid-Solid Chromatography (LSC) and Gas-Solid Chromatography (GSC).
  • In Gas Solid Chromatography (GSC), the mobile phase is a gas.
  • The stationary phase in chromatography can be a solid or a liquid.

Chromatography Process

  • A chromatographic process involves the distribution of a compound between two phases, a moving (mobile) phase that is passed over an immobile (stationary) phase.
  • The method that exploits the differences in solubility of the components of a mixture in a particular solvent is chromatography.

History of Chromatography

  • Michael Tswett separated chlorophyll from a mixture of plant pigments in 1906.

Chromatography Limitations

  • It is not possible to combine a solid stationary phase with a gas mobile phase in chromatography.

Chromatography Types

  • LSC and GSC are usually associated with adsorption chromatography.

Chromatographic Process Determinants

  • The ways to carry out a chromatographic process are determined by the mobile and stationary phases.

Chromatogram

  • A chromatogram represents the result of a chromatographic process, showing the separation of mixture components.
