Exchange Chromatography - An Overview

Practically every type of separation that has been done by the column technique can also be carried out by thin-layer chromatography. Several papers and reviews were published on the various aspects of the technique. In addition to the books on chromatography [17,26-301, an overview of ion-exchange application of TLC was presented by Devenyi and Kalasz 311. Recent results on the separation of enantiomers have been reviewed by Mack, Hauck and Herbert (32.33) (enantiomer. separation on an RP-18 plate, impregnated with copper salt and proline derivative as chiral selectors) and Lepri, Coas and Desideri, using a microcrystalline triacetylcellulose stationary phase, or modified beta-cyclodextrins in the mobile phase 134.35). 

In Section 16 of this general chemical engineering handbook, T. Ver-meulen, M. D. LeVan, N. K. Hiester and G. Klein provide an overview of adsorption and ion exchange. Subject matter includes sorbent materials and sorbent-process analysis, fluid-sorbent equilibrium, equilibrium-limited transitions, rate-limited constant pattern transitions, linear equilibrium and other rate limited transitions, regeneration, chromatography, multivariant systems, multiple transitions, batch and continuous processes. The authors comprehensive yet concise approach is essentially analytical in nature and descriptions of processes and equipment are not included.
