Characters of the Plateau of Methanol Increment in Frontal Analysis in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

With insulin methanol-water,and the ion-pairing agent,hydrochloric acid and trifluroacetic acid(TEA),the character of the first plateau(FP)on the elution curve of frontal analysis in reversed phase liquid chromatography(RPLC)was investigated by on-line UV-spectrometry and identified with nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectrometry and mass spectrometry.The profile of the FP is the same as that of a usual elution curve of methanol in frontal analysis(FA).When the insulin concentration was limited to a certain range,the height of the FP was found to be proportional to the insulin concentration in mobile phase and its length companying to shorten,The FP profile on the intersection of two tangents reflects the components of the microstructure in the depth direction of the bonded stationary phase layer and the desorption dynamics of the displaced components.The displaced methanol was quantitatively determined by NMR and on-line UV spectrometries.TFA with high UV absorbance can not be used as an ionpairing agent for the investigation of the FP in RPLC,but if can be used as a good marker to investigate the complicated transfer process of components in the stationary phase in RPLC.A stoichiometric displacement process between solute and solvent was proved to be valid in both usual and FA in RPLC.From the point of view of dynamics of mass transfer, the solutes can only contact to the surface of stationary phase in usual RPLC,while solute can penetrate into it in FA of RPLC.The solvation of insulin in methanol and water solution as an example indicating the usage of the FP in the FA was also investigated in this paper.     

Dependence of Elution Curve and Adsorption Isotherms of Insulin on composition of Mobile Phase of Frontal Analysis in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

With frontal analysis(FA),the dependence of adsorption isotherms of insulin on the composition of mobile phase in reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) has been investigated,This is also a good example to employ the stoichiometric displacement theory (SDT) for ivestigating solute adsorption in physical chemistry.Six kinds of mobile phase in RPLC were employed to study the effects on the elution curves and adsorption isotherms of insulin.the key points of this paper are:(1) the stability of insulin due to delay time after preparing,the organic solvent concentration,the kind and the concentration of ion-pairing agent in mobile phase were found to affect both elution curve and adsorption isotherm very seriously.(2)To obtain a valid and comparable result,the composition of the mobile phase employed in FA must be as same as possible to that in usual RPLC of either analytical scale or preparative purpose.(3)Langmuir Equation and the SDT were employed to imitate these obtained adsorption isotherms.The expression for solute adsorption from solution of the SDT was found to have a better elucidation to the insulin adsorption from mobile phase in RPLC.     

An Integrated Theory of Adsorption and Partition Mechanism and Eash Contribution to Solute Retention in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

With the combination of the the stoichiometric displacement model for retention (SDM-R) in reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and the stoichiometric displacement model for adsorption (SDM-A) in physical chemistry,the total number of moles of the re-solvated methanol of stationary phase side.nr,and that of solute side in the mobile phase,q,corresponding the one mole of the desorbing solute,were separately determined and referred as the characterization parameters of the contributions of the adsorption mechanism and partition mechanism to the solute retention,respectively.A chromatographic system of insulin,using mobile phase consisting of the pseudo-homologue of alcohols(methanol,ethanol and 2-propanol)-water and trifluoroacetic acid was employed.The maximum number of the methanol layers on the stationary phase surface was found to be 10.6,only 3 of which being valid in usual RPLC,traditionally referred as a volume process in partition mechanism.However,it still follows the SDM-R.Both of q and nr of insulin were found not to be zero,indicating that the retention mechanism of insulin is a mixed mode of partition mechanism and adsorption mechanism.When methanol is used as the organic modifier,the ratio of q/nr was 1.13,indicating the contribution to insulin retention due to partition mechanism being a bit greater than that due to adsorption mechanism.A linear relationship between q,or nr and the carbon number of the pseudo-homologue in the mobile phase was also found.As a methodology for investigating the retention mechanism retention and behavior of biopolymers.a homologue of organic solvents as the organic modifier in mobile phase has also been explored.     

A New Equation for Solute Retention in Liquid Chromatography

In consideration of the adsorption of solvent, diluent and solute molecules on the surface of a stationaryphase, a new equation for solute retention in liquid chromatography is presented. This equation includesthree parameters: the displacement equilibrium constant (Ksd) between the solvent and diluent molecules onthe surface of the stationary phase, the total number(N) of the solvent and diluent molecules released fromthe stationary phase after one solute molecule being adsorbed, and the parameter (I) related to the thermody-namic equilibrium constant for the solute adsorption on the stationary phase. Over the whole concentrationrange of the solvent in the mobile phase, the experimental retention data can be well described by this equa-tion, parameters K~, N and I can be obtained by the regression analysis of the experimental retention data,and consequently the number of the solvent and the diluent molecules displaced by one solute molecule fromthe stationary phase can also be derived at different solvent concentrations in the mobile phase,     

A STOICHIOMETRIC DISPLACEMENT MODEL FOR RETENTION OF SOLUTE IN LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH MULTI-COMPONENT SYSTEM

Considering all the kinds of interactions between solute and solvent, solute and stationary phase, solvent and stationary phase molecules as well as the competitional adsorption among various kinds of solvent molecules on the stationary phase, we present a stoichiometric displacement model of solute retention with four sets of parameters in liquid chromatography. This model was tested with data from both literature and experiments done by ourselves. These results show that this model may fit the experimental data for a liquid chromatography system with various kinds of mobile phases consisting of a complete range of multi-components and with different types of stationary phases.     

Effect of water droplet in solvent sublation

Aqueous phase layer around bubble and water droplet are two additional processes in solvent sublation. In the dynamic process of mass transfer, they are always neglected, but they are very important in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. In this paper, the effect of water droplet in solvent sublation was discussed in detail, and the previous mathematical model of solvent subaltion was improved. Matlab 6.5 was used to simulate the process of water droplets, and the comparison between the previous hypothesis and the improvement in this paper showed the superiority, especially in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. Moreover, the separation and concentration of the complex compound dithizone-Co（Ⅱ） from aqueous phase to n-octanol by solvent sublation also proved the improved mathematical model was reasonable.     

A STOICHIOMETRIC DISPLACEMENT MODEL OF SOLUTE ADSORPTION IN LIQUID-SOLID SYSTEM

Based on five thermodynamic equilibria involving solutes, solvents and adsorbents, a stoichiometric displacement adsorption model adaptable to various adsorption systems consisting of different types of solutes, solvents and adsorbents has been presented. The kernel of this model is that as the solute molecules are adsorbed by the adsorbent, a stoichiometric number of the solvent molecules is necessarily released. The model was tested with originally published data from an extensive literature. The linear parameter values from the model have been used for quantitatively explaining the phenomenon of the liquid-solid adsorption. Having compared with Langmuir model in many respects, it is found that this model is better.     

INTERSECTION POINT RULE OF THE RETENTION VALUE AND MOBILE PHASE COMPOSITION OF THE HOMOLOGUES IN REVERSED-PHASE HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

Based on the intersection point rule of the retention value and normal boiling point of homologues in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography(RPLC), the intersection point rule of the retention value of homologues and mobile phase composition has been derived, and was testified by a lot of experimental data from the literature. With this newly proposed equation, we can use the retention value of the compound in one mobile phase composition to predict its retention value in any other mobile phase composition. For fourteen groups of homologues in five mobile phase compositions on five Kinds of columns, the overall average absolute error of 721 data sets is 2.8%.     

Investigation of Quantitative Relationship between Adsorbed Amount of Solute and Solvent Concentration at Relatively High Solute Con－centration by Frontal Analysis in RPLC

In previous paper a new adsorption isotherm which relates the amount of solute absorbed to the solvent concentration is pro-posed and simplified, and it only can be used at lower solute concentration. In this article the scope of the new adsorption isotherm is extended and the expressions with three and four parameters are obtained. The equations with multi-parameters are valid when the adsorbed mounts are larger and show non-linear logarithmic relationships. Tests with a homologue of are-matic alcohols by frontal analysis in reversed phase liquid chro-matography demonstrate that the experimental results fit those equations well. In addition, the predicted values by the multi-parameters were found to fit the experimental values well also. The parameters have physical meaning only for the two-param-eter equation for the aromatic alcohols.     

Determination of Acetonitrile Volume Fraction in Mobile Phase by HPLC

This paper reports the development and validation of an assay for the determination of acetonitrile in the recycled mobile phase using high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）. The method is based on that the retention in reversed-phase liquid chromatography increases with decreasing concentration of organic phase in the mobile phase. The natural logarithm of the capacity ratio for a given solute is linearly related to the volume fraction of the organic modifier in the mobile phase. For dimethylphthalate and diethylphthalate, the linearity range is 30%--60%, and for biphenyl and terphenyl, the range is 60%--95%. Precision values（RSD） were both 〈1% and the accuracy（RE） was in the range of ±1%. The assay was successfully applied to the determination of acetonitrile concentration of recycled mobile phase after the distillation of the column eluent in our laboratory.

Mobile phase effects in reversed-phase liquid chromatography: a comparison of acetonitrile/water and methanol/water solvents as studied by molecular simulation

Molecular simulations of water/acetonitrile and water/methanol mobile phases in contact with a C(18) stationary phase were carried out to examine the molecular-level effects of mobile phase composition on structure and retention in reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The simulations indicate that increases in the fraction of organic modifier increase the amount of solvent penetration into the stationary phase and that this intercalated solvent increases chain alignment. This effect is slightly more apparent for acetonitrile containing solvents. The retention mechanism of alkane solutes showed contributions from both partitioning and adsorption. Despite changes in chain structure and solvation, the molecular mechanism of retention for alkane solutes was not affected by solvent composition. The mechanism of retention for alcohol solutes was primarily adsorption at the interface between the mobile and stationary phase, but there were also contributions from interactions with surface silanols. The interaction between the solute and surface silanols become very important at high concentrations of acetonitrile.     

在脂肪酸-水流动相中小分子在反相高效液相色谱中的保留表征

在反相液相色谱(RPLC)中用Snyder经验议程和计量置换保留模型(SDM-R)中的参数对深质为脂肪醇同系物,流动相为脂肪酸同系物时深质的保留行为进行了研究,结果表明用SDM-R参数具有明显的优越性,另外,由于用Snyder经验公式中二参数之间的作园无法准确求得斜率,且其不具有明确的物理意义,而由SDM-R二参数作图,不但能准确求得斜率j(与1mol溶剂和固相结合能有关的常数),而且j具有明确的物理意义并符合碳数规律,所以,参数j有可能用于RPLC中表征深剂强度,由此得出,在RPLC中,对同一置换剂面言,随同系物溶质的Z(1mol深剂化深质被深剂化固定相吸附时,从二接解面释放出的置换剂分子数)和logI(与1mol深质和固定相亲和势有关的常数)值增大,它们的保留时间也增大,对同一深质而言,随着在同系物置换剂中碳链的增长,Z和logI值的减小,它的保留时间也缩短,同时还可得出,随着同系物置换剂j值的减小,它们的洗脱能力也增强.

反相液相色谱中溶质保留参数间的定量关系研究

 比较了Snyder经验公式中的K0w 与S和溶质计量置换保留模型 (SDM R)中溶质保留参数Z(1mol溶剂化溶质被溶剂化固定相吸附时 ,在其接触表面处释放出溶剂或置换剂的总摩尔数 )与lgI(与 1mol溶质对固定相的亲和势有关的常数 )之间的定量关系。SDM R中的两个参数间不仅对同系物溶质可以有很好的线性关系 ,而且对非同系物溶质也有很好的线性关系。其线性关系的好坏主要取决于这两个参数数值范围的大小 ,与文献中报告的线性关系取决于是否单因素影响溶质的保留和完全由统计学规律决定的结论不同。
