Chromatography
Chromatography is a technique for separating mixtures
into their components in order to analyze, identify, purify,
and/or quantify the mixture or components.

Mechanisms Of Separation

 Partitioning equilibrium ( SP: liquid, MP: liquid/gas )

 Adsorption equilibrium ( SP: solid, MP: liquid )

 Exclusion equilibrium ( SP&MP: liquid )

 Ion Exchange equilibrium ( SP: solid ion-exchanger,


MP: liquid electrolyte )
 Affinity equilibrium ( SP: immobilised ligand, MP:
liquid)

Classification

 Column Chromatography

the stationary phase is held in a narrow tube through


which the mobile phase is forced under pressure or by
gravity.

 Planar Chromatography

the stationary phase is supported on a flat plate or


the interstices of a paper and the mobile phase moves
through the stationary phase by capillary action or by
gravity.
Planar Chromatography - Types
 Thin layer chromatography (TLC)
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)

 Paper Chromatography (PC)


separates dried liquid samples with a liquid solvent
(mobile phase) and a paper strip (stationary phase)

Thin layer chromatography (TLC)

 In TLC, any substance that can be finely divided


and formed into a uniform layer can be used.

 Both organic and inorganic substances can be


used to form a uniform layer for TLC.

 Organic substances include: cellulose,


polyamide, polyethylene

 Inorganic: silica gel, aluminum oxide and


magnesium silicate

 TLC to separate lipids


cellulose Al2O3
 Surface of the plate - very thin layer silica – SP

 Silica – polar (stationary phase)

 Spot the material at the bottom of the TLC plate


Cont…

 Place the plate into a glass jar - small amount of


a solvent

 This solvent - moving phase.

 Remove the plate from the bottle when the


solvent is close to the top of the plate.

Four Stages in TLC

1. Sample Application - Capillary used to spot solution of each sample.

2. Development - This is when the separation actually occurs.

3. Visualization - viewed under UV light.

4. Interpretation of Result - Comparison of retention factors.


1. Sample Application (spotting)

A. Draw “guide lines”
lightly with pencil “finishing line”

B. Dissolve solid

C. Use TLC capillary


to transfer and spot

2. Development of TLC
Plate

A. Place spotted TLC plate TLC plate


in developing chamber

B. Developing solution
is drawn up the plate
by capillary action

C. Remove TLC plate


when solvent
reaches top line

NOTE: During this ~20 min.

3. Visualization of TLC Results

A. Allow solvent to evaporate


from surface of TLC plate.
B. View results under UV light.
look for grayish spots on the UV
fluorescent green background

C. Mark spots with a pencil


while viewing under UV.
4. Interpretation of TLC Results

A. Determine retention factors


(Rf) for each spot detected.

Cont…
 Paper chromatography is a variant of partition
chromatography procedure in which the
cellulose support is in the form of a sheet or
paper

 Cellulose contain a large amount of bound water


even when extensively dried

 Partitioning occurs between the bound water


and the developing solvent
Cont…

 In paper chromatography the mixture to be


separated is spotted onto the paper and dried

 Then the solvent flows along the sheet either by


gravity ( descending chromatography ) or
capillary attraction (ascending chromatography )
Procedure
 Place 25 mL of solvent in a 600 mL beaker. Cover
the beaker and set it aside.
 Obtain a piece of chromatography
paper and draw a line 1 cm from the
bottom with a pencil.
 Place a small spot of each indicator
on the line. 25 mL

 Spot and label each of the four indicators and one
of the unknowns.
 The spots should be about 2 cm apart.
 When the spots have dried, re-spot each one.

 When the spots have dried, form the
paper into a cylinder with the spots
facing out. Staple the edges together
being careful to keep them straight
and not allowing them to touch.

 Place the cylinder into the 600 mL


beaker and replace the cover. Be
sure the cylinder is not touching the
sides of the beaker.

 Let the chromatogram develop until the
solvent is 2 cm from the top of the paper.
 Remove the chromatogram from the
beaker and immediately mark the
solvent front with a pencil.
 Allow the chromatogram to dry before
going to the next step.

 Take the chromatogram to the
hood and lightly mist it with water.
Place it in the ammonia
