 A group of techniques for the separation of the compounds of mixture.
The term chromatography was coined from two greek words
kromatos-colour
graphos-written
 In 1906 the Russian scientist M.Tswett separated different coloured
constituents of leaves by passing an extract of the leaves through a column
of calcium carbonate.

INTRODUCTION

DEFINITION:
 M. Tswett (1906) defined chromatography as The method in which
the components of a mixture are separated on an adsorbent column in a
flowing system.
 The international union of pure& applied chemistry(IUPAC)definition of
chromatography:
“Chromatography is a physical method of separation in which the
components to be separated are distributed between two phases, one of
which is stationary, while the other(mobile phase)moves in a definite
direction”.

COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY
Introduction:
 Column chromatography is a separation technique in which
components of mixture is separated by using a glass column packed
with stationary phase and the liquid mobile phase flowing
continuously through the column.
Principles of column chromatography:
Column adsorption chromatography
Partition chromatography
Ion-exchange chromatography
Size exclusion chromatography or Gel permeation chromatography:
Affinity chromatography
9

Adsorption chromatography:
 The principle underlying the separation of the compounds is
adsorption at the solid-liquid interphase.
 solid stationary phase like silica gel and liquid mobile phase is
used.
 In column chromatography the interaction between
adsorbent & component is usually reversible.
 The various components will move down the column
until, they are arranged in order of their affinity move down
the column at a faster rate than those with the greatest
affinity for the adsorbent.
10

The separation is based on differences in affinities towards the stationary
phase.
Those compounds which have greater affinity towards stationary phase
will move slower rate when compared to compound with less affinity.
 In straight-phase chromatography, four commonly used solvents are:
hexane; dichloromethane; isopropanol; methanol
(Increasing strength)
In reverse-phase chromatography, four commonly used solvents are:
water; methanol; acetonitrile; tetrahydrofuran
(Increasing strength)

Partition chromatography:
Distribution of solutes between two immiscible liquids.The two immisible liquids are
liquid stationary phase, liquid mobile phase (Or) gaseous mobile phase.
In partition chromatography separation is based up on the differences in partition
coefficient of the individual components in a mixture.
According to Nernst distribution law,
The ratio of activities of the solute into two immiscible liquid phases is known as a
partition coefficient.

In dilute solutions the activities can be replaced by solubilities then k is written as kD.
kd = kso/ kaq
where so=solubility of solute in organic phase.
saq=solubility of solute in aqueous phase.
When solubilities are replaced by concentration of solute now the kD becomes D.
D=Distribution ratio.
D= C0/CW
where Co =concentration of solute in organic phase
Cw=concentration of solute in aqueous phase
 ‘D’ depends upon the nature of the both phases, nature of solute & temperature.
14

In case of gas chromatography the stationary phase is high boiling organic liquid
(polydimethyl siloxanes) where as the mobile phase is inert gases
(Helium,nitrogen,Argon)
Examples: column partition
Gas liquid chromatography
High performance centrifugal partition chromatography
Paper partition chromatography
counter current extraction chromatography (counter current distribution)

Ion-exchange chromatography:
Ion exchange chromatography is the process by a mixture of charged ions can be
separating using an ion exchange resin.
The principle of separation is by reversible exchange of ions between the ions present
in the solution.
Example:
solid matrix of solution cation retained solution

Gel permeation chromatography:
 It is also called as gel filtration or size
exclusion chromatography.
 In size exclusion chromatography, the
stationary phase is a porous matrix
made up of compounds like cross linked
polystyrene, cross like dextrans , polyacrylamide
gels, agarose gels etc.
 The separation is based on their (analytes)
molecular sizes since the gel behaves like
a moleculae sieve.
 This technique is used for the separation of
proteins,polysaccharidees,enzymes and synthetic
polymers.

Stationary phases in column chromatography:
 Stationary phases used in column adsorption chromatography are also
known as adsorbents.
Requirements of an ideal stationary phase:
1.They should be insoluble in solvents or mobile phases.
2.chemically inert.
3.colourless to facilitate observation of zones.
4.should have reproducible properties from batch to batch.
5.The particle should have uniform size distribution and have spherical
6. particle size :60-200µ
23

 The most commonly used chromatographic adsorbent is silica or
silisic acid or silica gel (80-100 mesh or 100-200 mesh size, which has a
particle size of 63-200µm) .
 They adsorbs polar and unsaturated substances by the formation of
hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the silicon atom.
Type of mesh size in microns
60/120 mesh 120-250 micron
100/200mesh 75-150 micron

Adsorption isotherms:
 The amount of a solute adsorbed from the solution by an
absorbent can be determined by shaking a known weight of
adsorbent with a known volume of solution at fixed temperature
until equilibrium is attained.
 The adsorbent is filtered off & the concentration of the
substance in the filtrate is determined by any suitable means.
 A plot of equilibrium concentration of species in a solution and
that of amount adsorbed is called adsorption isotherms.
26

Linear adsorption isotherms:
 These are obtained when the amount of substance absorbed per gram of
adsorbent is proportional to the concentration of solution.
 The adsorption coefficient(k=m/Cs) is a constant value, in this linear
adsorption isotherm.
Convex adsorption isotherms:
 These are obtained when adsorption from weak solution is
greater than from strong solutions.
Concave adsorption isotherms:
 These are obtained when adsorption from strong solution is greater than
from weak solutions.
27

Convex and concave adsorption isotherms:
28
 Tailing is particularly likely to occur where adsorption is involved in the
separation process.
 Both effects become more pronounced at high concentrations and are
therefore symptomatic of overloading the column sample.

 Adsorption isotherms and related elution patterns of substances
from a column of adsorbent.
m = weight of substance adsorbed per g of adsorbent.
Cs = Concentration of solution.
Cf = Concentration of each fraction.
f = Number of each fraction.
29

ELUENTS OR SOLVENTS OR MOBILE PHASES USED:
30
 Mobile phase act as a solvent to introduce the mixture into the column
as developer to develop the zones for separation and as an eluent to remove
the pure component out to the column.
 Strain(1942) has arranged the solvents in order of eluting power. A
grouping of solvents in order of chromatographic strength(polarity index)
is known as elutrophic series.

Preparation (packing) of the column:
a) Slurry packing (wet packing method):
The adsorbent is suspended in the mobile phase and stirred very
well to remove all air bubbles. The resulted slurry is then poured in
to the column.
After slurry application, the column must be allowed to settle
overnight. This is the ideal method of column packing.
At the bottom portion of the column a piece of glass wool or
cotton/whattman filter paper disc must be added before the slurry
application.
32

PROCESS OF WET PACKINGFig . 8

b) Dry packing:
In this method the dry adsorbent is poured to the column directly
Vibration is applied to get rid of air bubbles then the mobile phase is
passed through the adsorbent.
The demerit with this method is that air bubbles are entrapped between
the solvent and the stationary phase. This method cannot be applied in
gel chromatography.
34

35

c)Sample introduction in column chromatography:
1) Wet application: Dissolve the sample in the initial mobile phase and
apply by pipette to the top of the column.
 This is very good method but in most of cases the samples are not soluble in
the initial mobile phase.
36

2) Dry loading:
 Dissolve sample in any volatile solvent.
 The sample solution is then adsorbed an small weight of adsorbent and the
solvent is allowed to evaporate.
 The dry adsorbent loaded with the sample is then applied to the column.

Development of column:
 Removal of individual components from a column is called
development of column.
Frontal analysis: This technique was developed by Tiselius in 1940
In this method, the solution of sample mixture is added continuously
on the column. No mobile phase (solvent) is used for development of
column.
A mixture containing A,B,C is added on the column.
If component A is least adsorbed, component B is adsorbed to
intermediate extent and component C most strongly to the column
adsorbent material.
38

The mixture flows through the column, the least adsorbed A runs down
the column fast, component B to intermediate extent while ‘c’ is retained at
the top of the column.
 A plot of amount of substance against volume of eluate is gives a
chromatogram.
39

Displacemental Analysis:
 In this method, a small volume of mixture is added to the column and
elution is carried out by a solvent containing a solute which has adsorptivity
for column material.
 The adsorbed constituents of mixture are displayed by the solute from
mobile phase.
 Each solute in the mixture in turn displaces another substance solute which
is less firmly adsorbed.
 The least adsorbed constituent is pushed out of the column. The substance
used in mobile phase is called as displacer.
40

The plot of amount of substance (conc. In eluate) against volume of
eluate is given by:
 Displacement analysis technique is mainly used in preparative work
and is not suitable for analysis since some overlapping may occur
41
Fig.12:Displacement analysis

Elution analysis:
 It is a common method used in column chromatography.
 In this method a small volume of mixture to be separated is added on the
top of column& mobile phase is allowed to flow through the column.
 The mixture introduced on the column gets separated into individual as the
components of mixture are adsorbed to the column material to different
extent.
 on other phase of mobile phase, each component of mixture is eluted out as
separated components (called eluate).
42

A plot of amount of substance per ml of eluate against volume of
eluate will gives the following chromatogram.
43
Fig13:Elution analysis

a) Isocratic elution: (Iso means same or similar)
In this elution technique, the same solvent composition or
solvent of sample polarity is used throughout the process of
separation.e.g.(chloroform only as a solvent or CHCL3:MeOH=1:1)
b) Gradient elution:(gradient means gradual)
In this elution tecenique,solvents of gradually increasing
polarity or increasing elution length are used during the process of separation.
44

45
DETECTION & RECOVERY OF COMPONENTS:
Fractions are collected by elution analysis
Each fraction is examined by TLC using suitable experimental
conditions
Those fractions which give same Rf values in TLC are added as a
common fraction
From the column fraction, solvent is evaporated, dried & the
materialis collected in eppendorf container
After spectral analysis (NMR, MS, X-RD etc.)the compound is
identified

Solvent It should be of low viscosity & high volatility
Solvent flow rate Uniform and low flow rate gives better resolution
Conduction of adsorbent Deactivation of adsorbent decreases separation
Concentration of solutes Substances of high concentration moves slowly
