Ch 34 Miscellaneous Separation Method Flashcards
The physical state of a substance held/ heated above its critical temperature
Supercritical fluid
Is the temperature above which a substance cannot be liquified
Critical temperature
Acts as the mobile phase in supercritical fluid chromatography and are able to dissolve large nonvolatile molecules
Supercritical fluid
The density of a supercritical fluid is ___ to ____ times that of its gaseous state
200 to 400
The pumping system in SFC that keeps the fluid in liquid state
Chilled pump head
The effects of pressure to the density of the supercritical fluids
Directly proportional
The most widely used mobile phase for supercritical fluid chromatography
CO2
Give the planar chromatographic techniques
Thin-layer Chrom
Paper Chrom
Electrochrom
Named the different detectors than can be used in SFC
Flame ionization detector
UV-visible absorption detectors
Light scattering detectors
Mass Spectrometry (Hyphenation)
Tandem mass spec
Can be considered a form of liquid-solid chrom in which the stationary phase is a thin layer on the surface of a plate. The mobile phase is drawn by capillary action
Thin-layer chrom
This is a chromatographic technique where the mobile phase moves through the stationary phase by capillary action, sometimes assisted by gravity or an electrical potential
Planar chrom
Commercial plates used in TLC that have thicker layers of 200 to 250 μm, particle size of >20 μm
Conventional plates
Commercial plates used in TLC that have thicker layers of 100 μm, particle size of <5 μm
High-performance plates
The most critical aspect of TLC where the sample is applied as a spot 1 to 2 cm from the edge of the plate
Sample application
Increases the precision and accuracy of sample application
Mechanical dispenser
The process by which a sample is carried through the stationary phase by a mobile phase. Analogous to elution in liquid chromatography
Plate development
The process of locating analytes on a thin-layer plate is often termed as
Visualization
Two common methods in locating the analytes on the plate
- Spraying iodine or sulfuric acid solution
- Incorporation of fluorescent material to the stationary phase
Samples are placed on both ends of the plate and developed towards the middle, thus doubling the number of samples
Horizontal-flow developing chamber
