Despite their importance, gas chromatography and liquid chromatography cannot be used to separate and analyze all types of samples. Gas chromatography, particularly when using capillary columns, provides for rapid separations with excellent resolution. Its application, however, is limited to volatile analytes or those analytes that can be made volatile by a suitable derivatization. Liquid chromatography can be used to separate a wider array of solutes however, the most commonly used detectors (UV, fluorescence, and electrochemical) do not respond as universally as the flame ionization detector commonly used in gas chromatography. 

An interesting outgrowth of these considerations is the idea that In r versus K or Vj should describe a universal calibration curve in a particular column for random coil polymers. This conclusion is justified by examining Eq. (9.55), in which the product [i ]M is seen to be proportional to (rg ), with r = a(rg 0 ) - This suggests that In rg in the theoretical calibration curve can be replaced by ln[r ]M. The product [r ]M is called the hydrodynamic volume, and Fig. 9.17 shows that the calibration curves for a variety of polymer types merge into a single curve when the product [r ]M, rather than M alone, is used as the basis for the cafibration.

Experiments were conducted during the Metallurgical Project, centered at the University of Chicago, and led by Enrico Fermi. Subcritical assembhes of uranium and graphite were built to learn about neutron multiphcation. In these exponential piles the neutron number density decreased exponentially from a neutron source along the length of a column of materials. There was excellent agreement between theory and experiment. 

Chromatographic Method. Progress in the development of chromatographic techniques (55), especially, in high performance Hquid chromatography, or hplc, is remarkable (56). Today, chiral separations are mainly carried out by three hplc methods chiral hplc columns, achiral hplc columns together with chiral mobile phases, and derivatization with optical reagents and separation on achiral columns. All three methods are usehil but none provides universal appHcation. 

Another classification of detector is the bulk-property detector, one that measures a change in some overall property of the system of mobile phase plus sample. The most commonly used bulk-property detector is the refractive-index (RI) detector. The RI detector, the closest thing to a universal detector in lc, monitors the difference between the refractive index of the effluent from the column and pure solvent. These detectors are not very good for detection of materials at low concentrations. Moreover, they are sensitive to fluctuations in temperature.

Work at the University of Manchester Institue of Science and Technology (UMIST) has resulted in several papers reporting efficiency data taken in a 0.6-m-diameter column. The systems methanol/water, isopropanoil/water, and toluene methylcyclohexane have been used. The results may be found in Lockett and Ahmed [Chem. Eng. Re.s. Des., 61, 110 (1983)], Korchinsky et al. [Trans. Chem. E., 72, 406 (1994)], and Korchinsky [ibid., 472]...

By using an anionic collector and external reflux in a combined (enriching and stripping) column of 3.8-cm (1.5-in) diameter with a feed rate of 1.63 ni/n [40 gal/(h ft )] based on column cross section, D/F was reduced to 0.00027 with C JCp for Sr below 0.001 [Shou-feld and Kibbey, Nucl. AppL, 3, 353 (1967)]. Reports of the adsubble separation of 29 heavy metals, radioactive and otheiwise, have been tabulated [Lemlich, The Adsorptive Bubble Separation Techniques, in Sabadell (ed.), Froc. Conf. Traces Heavy Met. Water, 211-223, Princeton University, 1973, EPA 902/9-74-001, U.S. EPA, Reg. 11, 1974). Some separation of N from by foam fractionation has been reported [Hitchcock, Ph.D. dissertation. University of Missouri, RoUa, 1982]. 

The greater preference of molecular sieves for combining with water molecules explains why this material can be used for drying ethanol and why molecular sieves are probably the most universally useful and efficient drying agents. Percolation of ethanol with an initial water content of 0.5% through a 144 cm long column of type 4A molecular sieves reduced the water content to lOppm. Similar results have been obtained with pyridine.

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC, also known as GPC and GFC) has become a very well accepted separation method since its introduction in the late-1950s by works of Porath and Flodin (1) and Moore (2). Polymers Standards Service (PSS) packings for SEC/SEC columns share this long-standing tradition as universal and stable sorbents for all types of polymer applications. In general, PSS SEC columns are filled with spherical, macroporous cross-linked, pressure-stable, and pH-resistant polymeric gels. 

Many proteins and polymers have been analyzed on SynChropak GPC and CATSEC columns. Table 10.6 lists some of the published applications. The use of a surfactant to analyze the caseins in milk is illustrated in Eig. 10.12. Viruses have also been analyzed on SynChropak GPC columns, as seen in the chromatogram from Dr. Jerson Silva of the University of Illinois (Pig. 10.13). Dr. Nagy and Mr. Terwilliger analyzed cationic polymers on a series of CATSEC columns using differential viscometry as detection (Pig. 10.14) (9). 

For organic SEC separations the use of polystyrene/divinylbenzene (PS/ DVB) particles is almost universal throughout the industry. Polymer Laboratories PS/DVB material, PLgel, which is produced in a series of individual pore sizes, formed the basis for the original product line of SEC columns. Developments in the refinement of particle sizing introduced the benefits of smaller particle size and more efficient columns, which significantly reduced SEC analysis time through a reduction in the number of columns required for... 

Whereas for organic SEC column technology a particular type of bead (PS/ DVB) is used almost universally, in the field of aqueous SEC there have been a variety of approaches to derive polymeric beads suitable for the application. For this reason there is more secrecy about the chemical composition of the packing materials and columns produced by different manufacturers.
