Chromatography



Described by Tswett in 1906
He separated some pigments using a
tube filled with CaCO3
By washing the extract through the
column with an organic solvent he was
able to produce several colored bands
band = pás
column = sloupec
Chromatography

Analytical method

Separation of components of a mixture

Stationary phase
– Solid
– Liquid

Mobile phase (flow over stationary phase)
– Liquid
– Gas
Types of Chromatography

Column Chromatography

Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)

Paper Chromatography

Gas Chromatography (GC)

High Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC)
high performance = vysoce účinná
Column Chromatography

Vertical glass column

Mobile phase = liquid

Stationary phase = solid
– Silica gel (SiO2)
– Alumina (Al2O3)

Sample = solid or liquid
placed on column
Separatory funnel
Column Chromatography

Affinity = molecules adsorbed on solid
– Compound in liquid elute first
– More polar molecules elute last

Collect separated compounds (fractions)
– Evaporate solvent
– ID or further purify
evaporate = vypařit
Thin Layer
Chromatography

Similar to column chromatography

Mobile phase = solvent

Stationary phase = solid (silica gel)
Paper Chromatography


Similar to TLC
Stationary phase = H2O adsorbed by
cellulose

Mobile phase = solvent

Frequently used to polar compounds
– Amino acids, carbohydrates, etc.
Gas Chromatography

Mobile phase = stream of inert gas

Stationary phase = high boiling liquid film
– Polarity similar to compounds in mixture
– Supported on a solid
– Packed in a column

heated glass or metal

2-3 m in length; 2-5 mm diameter
diameter = průměr
Gas Chromatogram

Retention time can be used to ID a component if
compared to known sample under same conditions
– Flow rate, column size, temperature, etc.
