3. Definition
The separation of a mixture by distribution of its
components between a mobile and stationary
phase over time
OR
The separation of mxt of components into
individual components through equilibrium
distribution b/w two phases
4. • Mobile phase - phase that moves through
chromatograph
• Stationary phase - phase that is stationary in
chromatograph

6. Real-life examples of uses for chromatography:
• Pharmaceutical Company – determine amount of each
chemical found in new product
• Hospital – detect blood or alcohol levels in a patient’s
blood stream
• Law Enforcement – to compare a sample found at a
crime scene to samples from suspects
• Environmental Agency – determine the level of
pollutants in the water supply
• Manufacturing Plant – to purify a chemical
needed to make a product
7. There are two classification schemes:
–Mobile phase
–Attractive forces
8. Mobile Phase
• Gas (GC)
• Water (LC)
• Organic solvent (LC)
• Supercritical fluid (SCFC)
12. Separation based on their adsorption onto the
surface of solid (stationary phase).
the compound which has more affinity
towards stationary phase travels slower.
Ex; Column chromatography (CC) , TLC,
HPLC
13. solute are separated based on their partition between a
liquid mobile phase and a liquid stationary phase
coated on a solid support.
Component which is more soluble in mobile phase
travels faster & more soluble in stationary phase
travel slower.
Ex : liquid chromatography, Paper Chromatography,
column partition chromatography
14. Use ionic stationary phase
– ions separated on the basis of their tendency to
displace counter ions adsorbed on stationary phase
(Depends on charge, hydration, “solubility”…)
Anionic stationary phases: used for cation separation
Cationic stationary phases : for anion separation
for ionic compounds
- Ex : CC , HPLC
15. Separation is a result of “trapping” of molecules
in the pores of the packing material
• Very large molecules can’t get into the pores –
unretained
• Very small molecules get hung up in to pores for a
long time - most retained – longest retention time
• stationary phase is a porous matrix
• Ex: CC, HPLC

18. Types of Chromatography
• Liquid Chromatography – separates liquid
samples with a liquid solvent (mobile
phase) and a column composed of solid
beads (stationary phase)
• Gas Chromatography – separates vaporized
samples with a carrier gas (mobile phase) and
a column composed of a liquid or of
solid beads (stationary phase)
19. Types of Chromatography
• Paper Chromatography – separates dried
liquid samples with a liquid solvent (mobile
phase) and a paper strip (stationary phase)
• Thin-Layer Chromatography – separates
dried liquid samples with a liquid solvent
(mobile phase) and a glass plate covered
with a thin layer of alumina or silica gel
(stationary phase)
