Figure 5.4 Migration distances of the mobile phase on a TLC plate. Over a sequence of regular time intervals, the quadratic progression of the eluant front can be seen. Curve A was obtained in a chamber unsaturated with eluant vapour. Curve B was obtained by saturating the chamber with eluant vapour.

It is often important to quantify the contamination of pore fluid in the unsaturated soil 2one, where monitoring wells are ineffective. In this region, suction cup lysimeters are useful (7). These samplers consist of a porous cup, typically ceramic, having two access tubes which are usually Teflon. One access tube provides a pressure-vacuum, the other discharges the sampled fluid to the surface. The porous cup, typically between 2 and 5 cm in diameter, is attached to a PVC sample accumulation chamber. 

Ascending, one-dimensional, 2-fold development in a trough chamber with 5 min intermediate drying in a stream of cold air. The first development was carried out in an unsaturated normal chamber, the second with chamber saturation. Direct light was excluded. 

Considerable attention has been directed in determining the products from reactions of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, and unsaturated compounds including biogenic terpenes that exhibit appreciable volatility. These studies have been conducted both in simulation chambers and using natural sunlight in the presence of NO. 

One of the most crucial influencing factors in planar chromatography is the vapor space and the interactions involved. The fact that the gas phase is present, in addition to stationary and mobile phases, makes planar chromatography different from other chromatographic techniques. Owing to the characteristic of an open system the stationary, mobile, and vapor phases interact with each other until they all are in equihbrium. This equilibrium is much faster obtained if chamber saturation is employed. This is the reason for differences in separation quality when saturated and unsaturated chambers are used. However, the humidity of the ambient air can also influence the activity of the layer and, thus, separation. Especially during sample application, the equihbrium between layer activity and relative humidity of the...

Another reversal location method is to expose the TLC plate to iodine vapour in a closed chamber that contains some iodine crystals. Iodine is lipophilic and accumulates in hpophihc sample spots, showing a brown color on a pale yellow-brown background. The same result is obtained by spraying with an iodine solution (250 mg iodine dissolved in 100 ml of heptane). In nearly all cases, this iodine accumulation is totally reversible without altering the sample, because outside the closed chamber iodine evaporates quickly from the plate. Caution should be taken with this iodine treatment in the case of unsaturated compounds because iodine vapor can react with double bonds [16].

The Rf value for dobutamine hydrochloride when chromatographed on a silica gel 60 F254 thin layer plate developed by ethyl acetate/n-propanol/water/acetic acid (100/40/15/5 v/v/v/v) in an unsaturated chamber is about 0.67. The spot of the drug may be visualized under short wavelength UV light (254 nm), or under white light after exposure to iodine vapors. 

The observed ambient organic aerosol formation rates are also consistent with those estimated by extrapolation of smog-chamber kinetic data. Other heavy unsaturates, such as styrene and indene, are present in the atmosphere and may contribute, in part, to the formation of benzoic acid and homophthalic acid, respectively. Diesel exhaust and industrial emission are possible sources of such heavy unsaturates. Diolefins of C6+ are not present in gasolines and exhaust gases and have not been found in the atmosphere, and their possible role as precursors of the Cs-7 difiinctional acidic compounds is seriously challenged. Lower diolefins are emitted in automobile exhaust. Examination of vapor-pressure data indicates that the bulk of their expected photooxidation products remains in the gas phase, including most of the less volatile C3-4 dicarboxylic acids.

In Illustrative Example 19.2 we discussed the flux of trichloroethene (TCE) from a contaminated aquifer through the unsaturated zone into the atmosphere. The example was based on a real case of a polluted aquifer in New Jersey (Smith et al., 1996). These authors compared the diffusive fluxes, calculated from measured TCE vapor concentration gradients, with total fluxes measured with a vertical flux chamber. They found that the measured fluxes were often several orders of magnitude larger than the fluxes calculated from Fick s first law. In these situations the vapor profiles across the unsaturated zone were not always linear. The authors attributed this to the influence of advective transport through the unsaturated zone. In order to test this hypothesis you are asked to make the following checks ... 

Isopiestic determination is one of the most commonly used methods for measuring food aw. In this method a sample of known mass is stored in a closed chamber and allowed to reach equilibrium with an atmosphere of known ERH (or equilibrate with a standard of known aw). In the first protocol (see Basic Protocol), a standard salt solution, for which aw is well established, is used to control this atmosphere. The aw of the sample is then determined by equilibration with the resulting atmosphere. In the second protocol (see Alternate Protocol), the isopiestic determination of aw is accomplished by equilibration of the sample with a reference material, for which the relationship between water content and aw is known. The condition of equilibrium is determined by reweighing the sample at intervals until constant mass is reached. The moisture content of the sample is then determined either directly or by calculation from the reference material s original moisture content and change in mass. Unsaturated salt solutions of known ERH can also be used to equilibrate the samples however, this requires estimation of the ERH of the jars at the end of the equilibration by measuring the exact concentration of the salt solution, which may be tedious.
