Chromatography cocurrent flow

We will first provide a very brief illustration of the governing equations for mass transport and the operating line for a two-phase continuous cocurrent separation system in a conventional chemical engineering context. This will be followed by a brief treatment of the multi-component separation capability of such a system. Cocurrent chromatographic separation in a two-phase system, where both phases are mobile and in cocurrent flow, will be introduced next. The systems of interest are micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) chromatography with two mobile phases, a gas phase and a liquid phase capillary electrochromatography, with mobile nanoparticles in the mobile liquid phase. Continuous separation of particles from a gas phase to a cocurrent liquid phase in a scrubber will then be illustrated. Finally, cocurrent membrane separators will be introduced.
