Theory, chromatography measurement

The peak width at half height (wq.s) is the distance between each side of a peak, measured at half the peak height. The peak width measured at half height has no significance with respect to chromatography theory. [Pg.16]

The function (vm + Kvs) is termed the plate volume and so the flow through the column will be measured in plate volumes instead of milliliters. The plate volume is defined as that volume of mobile phase that can contain all the solute in the plate at the equilibrium concentration of the solute in the mobile phase. The meaning of plate volume must be understood, as it is an important concept and is extensively used in different aspects of chromatography theory. [Pg.23]

Recalling that a separation is achieved by moving the solute bands apart in the column and, at the same time, constraining their dispersion so that they are eluted discretely, it follows that the resolution of a pair of solutes is not successfully accomplished by merely selective retention. In addition, the column must be carefully designed to minimize solute band dispersion. Selective retention will be determined by the interactive nature of the two phases, but band dispersion is determined by the physical properties of the column and the manner in which it is constructed. It is, therefore, necessary to identify those properties that influence peak width and how they are related to other properties of the chromatographic system. This aspect of chromatography theory will be discussed in detail in Part 2 of this book. At this time, the theoretical development will be limited to obtaining a measure of the peak width, so that eventually the width can then be related both theoretically and experimentally to the pertinent column parameters. [Pg.179]

Everett considered the effect of the variation of the partition coefficient (the ratio of solute concentration in the liquid phase and the solute concentration in the gas phase) with the pressure drop across the column. Cruickshank, Gainey, and Young have calculated the effects of carrier-gas solubility in the stationary liquid. Conder and Purnell have extended gas chromatography theory to measurements of finite concentrations. Their measurements on w-hexane in squalane and M-heptane in dinonylphthalate, both at 303 K, agree with static measurements in the volatile solute mole fraction range of 0.0 to 0.7 and 0.0 to 0.5 respectively. They conclude that the chemical potential can be measured with an accuracy of approximately 25 J mol over the accessible concentration range. [Pg.24]

The point of all this is simply that we must not use the apparent plate height or the apparent plate number as performance criteria in the unified chromatography techniques on the justification that they already work well for LC and that they work well for GC when a pressure correction is applied. A considerable expansion of theory and an effective means for evaluating equations (7.4) or (7.5) are required first. Likewise, as we consider multidimensional chromatography involving techniques existing between the extremes of LC and GC, we must not build judgments of the multidimensional system on unsound measures of the individual techniques involved. [Pg.167]

Aspler and Gray (65.69) used gas chromatography and static methods at 25 C to measure the activity of water vapor over concentrated solutions of HPC. Their results indicated that the entropy of mixing in dilute solutions is mven by the Flory-Huggins theory and by Flory s lattice theory for roddike molecules at very nigh concentrations. [Pg.265]

From this expression (Kubelka Munk function) it follows that, within the range of validity of the theory, q,/ depends only on the ratio of the absorption coefficient to the scattering coefficient, and not on their individual values. The equation has been most useful where reflectance measurements are used to obtain information about absorption and scattering (e.g., in textile dyeing, thin layer chromatography, and IR spectroscopy). [Pg.23]

The place of gas chromatography (GC) in chemical analysis has been well established. Recent developments in theory and improvements in technique have made it possible to apply GC to a variety of physicochemical measurements. The advantages of GC over other techniques lie in its accuracy, convenience, specificity, versatility, speed, and ability to use only small quantities of sample. Thus, in recent years, many reviews and hundreds of papers emphasizing nonanalytical applications have appeared. [Pg.554]

The most popular method for measuring the polarity of a solute entails determination of the distribution constant between water and a water-immiscible solvent, e.g., octanol. However, because there is difficulty in dissolving proteins in the solvent, a two-phase aqueous system was developed (Shanbhag and Axelson, 1975). Albertson (1986) reported the construction of various aqueous phase systems for partitioning proteins, other macromolecules, and even cells. Recently, simpler aqueous biphase systems were selected for hydrophobic partitioning of proteins (Hachem et al., 1996). However, because of restrictions similar to those for HIC, as discussed above, it may be premature to replace the method used in Basic Protocol 5. The definition of hydrophobicity is based on the polarity of chemical compounds, which is closely related to the distribution between solvents of different polarities. This theory is similar to the elution mechanism of phase distribution chromatography as well as phase partition. However, complexity in the partition system and procedure hampers the broad use of the phase partition approaches. [Pg.310]

At one time it was believed (Ref 3) that detonability was detd by the burning rate. It must be understood clearly that high order detonation is a bulk phenomenon and not one governed by the classic proplnt burning theories. The tendency to detonate is a characteristic intrinsic with each formulation which must be studied in shock environments as it is found in a card gap or flyer plate test (see later in this article) or Susan and Wenograd tests (Ref 19) Likewise, density is not a useful measure of the detonability of a proplnt except perhaps to the extent that low density formulations may be porous. A more valid measure of the safe-life of proplnts is the depletion with time of stabilizers such as the nitroamines which are found in double base proplnts or the loss of the plasticizer. Such determinations can now be performed routinely in a quantitative fashion by means of liq chromatography Nuclear Radiation Hazard... [Pg.249]

The efficiency of a column is a number that describes peak broadening as a function of retention, and it is described in terms of the number of theoretical plates, N. Two major theories have been developed to describe column efficiency, both of which are used in modern chromatography. The plate theory, proposed by Martin and Synge,31 provides a simple and convenient way to measure column performance and efficiency, whereas the rate theory developed by van Deemter et al.32 provides a means to measure the contributions to band broadening and thereby optimize the efficiency. [Pg.13]

What is H anyway The original interpretation, taken from distillation theory, was height equivalent to a theoretical plate, or HETP. We have seen that this concept was inadequate, and the preceding discussion of the van Deemter equation has presented it as a measure of the extent of spreading of an analyte zone as it passes through a column. Thus, a more appropriate term might be column dispersivity. In fact, another, independent approach to the theory of chromatography defines H as... [Pg.174]
