Chromatography Flashcards
principle of chromatography
adsorption or partition
column chromatography
stationary phase is solid or liquid supported by a solid
thin layer chromatography
used to separate mixtures, check purity of a mixture and to monitor the progress of reaction
paper chromatography
liquid liquid chromatography can also be carried out on a strip of paper. thin liquid film of solvent held on the paper will act as a stationary phase.
adsorption CC
column of solid is used as adsorbent
partition CC
when solid column is acting only as a support to the liquid adsorbent
chromatogram
a banded column of adsorbed constituents
elution and eluent
dissolving out of component s form adsorbent is called elution and the solvent is called eluent
applications of CC
1) quantitative separation
2) purification
3) concentration
4) identification
chromatoplate
glass plate with thin layer of stationary phase
how do you get the result if the components are colourless in TLC
the dried plate is sprayed with a suitable reagent to make the spot coloured
Rf value
the ratio of distance travelled by a component to the distance travelled by solvent front
advantages of TLC
1) separation of minute quantities
2) sensitive and sharp separation
3) high speed of separation
4) wide choice of stationary phases
applications of TLC
1) detection of purity and identification
2) pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industry
3) biochem analysis
HPLC
Modern method and powerful tool for the separation, purification and identification of various non volatile high molecular weight organic compounds and natural products
