What is the mechanism of cation exchange columns ?
Resin within column is negatively charged; positively charged molecules are thereby bound. The buffer running through the column gradually has either its pH or salt concentration increased; For pH increase specifically by doing so, positively charged molecules continue to lose more protons, losing positive charge, and eluting. Longer retention time= higher pKa of functional group
