Several properties of the filler are important to the compounder (279). Properties that are frequentiy reported by fumed sihca manufacturers include the acidity of the filler, nitrogen adsorption, oil absorption, and particle size distribution (280,281). The adsorption techniques provide a measure of the surface area of the filler, whereas oil absorption is an indication of the stmcture of the filler (282). Measurement of the sdanol concentration is critical, and some techniques that are commonly used in the industry to estimate this parameter are the methyl red absorption and methanol wettabihty (273,274,277) tests. Other techniques include various spectroscopies, such as diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (drift), inverse gas chromatography (igc), photoacoustic ir, nmr, Raman, and surface forces apparatus (277,283—290). 

Discrimination between the enantiomers of a racemic mixture is a complex task in analytical sciences. Because enantiomers differ only in their structural orientation, and not in their physico-chemical properties, separation can only be achieved within an environment which is unichiral. Unichiral means that a counterpart of the race-mate to be separated consists of a pure enantiomeric form, or shows at least enrichment in one isomeric form. Discrimination or separation can be performed by a wide variety of adsorption techniques, e.g. chromatography in different modes and electrophoresis. As explained above, the enantioseparation of a racemate requires a non-racemic counterpart, and this can be presented in three different ways ... 

When the predominant functional group of the stationary phase is more polar than the commonly used mobile phases, the separation technique is termed normal-phase HPLC (NPLC), formerly also called adsorption liquid chromatography. In NPLC, many types... 

Because of the different interactions involved in partition and adsorption processes, they may be applied to different separation problems. Partition processes are the most effective for the separation of small molecules, especially those in homologous series. Partition chromatography has been widely used for the separation and identification of amino acids, carbohydrates, and fatty acids. Adsorption techniques, represented by ion-exchange chromatography, are most effective when applied to the separation of macromolecules including proteins and nucleic acids. 

Adsorption techniques such as ion exchange, HIC, chromatofocusing, reversed-phase chromatography, and affinity chromatography can have high capacity factors because experimental conditions can be manipulated so that the elution volume for a peak can exceed the total bed volume (VM as is the case with peaks 2 and 3 in Fig. B4.2.4.) However, in gel filtration, which is a nonad-sorptive technique, all peaks must elute within the volume Vy- V(h as is the case with peak 1 in Fig. B4.2.4.

Particle yield pressures and elastic moduli of the powder feeds can also be determined by uniaxial compaction experiments which monitor deformation and pressure throughout the compaction cycles. In addition, rate effects are investigated, as plastic and elastic properties can be rate-dependent for some materials. 

Zero Coverage. Inverse gas chromatography has been used successfully In the past decade for studying the surface properties of solids by adsorption of vapour at a gas-solid Interface. Unlike conventional adsorption techniques, IGC allows the measurement of adsorption data down to low vapour concentrations where the surface coverage approaches zero, adsorbate-adsorbate Interactions are negligible, and thermodynamic functions depend on only adsorbate-adsorbent Interactions. 

The remainder of this introductory chapter focuses on downstream processing and bioseparation relevant to the chapters presented in this book. Thus, the following topics are covered multiphase systems, membrane separation, centrifugation and adsorption techniques, electrophoresis, chromatography, and affinity separations. 

Inevitably the study of steroid metabolism in infancy has had to be delayed until suitable techniques were available. Crystallographic techniques initially used for isolating steroids from adult and animal material were not applicable since considerable amounts of tissue or urine would be required. The early solvent partition and adsorption techniques involving countercurrent distribution and column chromatography could have been applied, but since considerable labor would have been involved and no gross difference from the adult pattern of steroid metabolism was suspected in infants, little work was done until the availability of paper and thin-layer chromatography greatly improved the feasibility of study. 

The next major developments occurred in 1931 when Lederer and coworkers [5,12,13] separated lutein and zeaxanthine in carbon disulphide and the xanthophylls from egg yolk on a column of calcium carbonate powder 7 cm in diameter. The technique rapidly gained interest and Khun, Karrier and Ruzicka were each awarded the Nobel Prize (1937, 1938, 1939, respectively) for their work on chromatography. Flow through chromatography rapidly gained acceptance and by the 1940s liquid adsorption column chromatography was an established laboratory separation technique on both analytical and preparative scales.

Karanfil and Kilduff studied the adsorption of two synthetic organic contaminants, trichloroethylene (TCE) and trichlorobenzene (TCB), on coal-based and wood-based granulated activated carbons. The activated carbon surface was modified by liquid-phase oxidation with nitric acid and by degassing in an inert atmosphere. The activated carbons were characterized by elemental analysis, surface area and pore-size distribution, and acid-base adsorption techniques. The adsorption isotherms were determined by equilibrating a known weight of the carbon sample with different concentrations of TCE and TCB solutions, and analyzing the solution by gas chromatography.
