Abstract: | The general rate model of chromatography can be coupled with the generalized Maxwell-Stefan equation that describes the surface diffusion flux. The resulting model is useful to describe the behavior of two enantiomers during their separation on chiral phases, cases in which the mass transfer kinetics is known to be sluggish. A case in point is the modeling of the elution profiles of the racemic mixture of the two enantiomers of 1-phenyl-1-propanol on cellulose tribenzoate coated on silica, a popular chiral stationary phase. The competitive equilibrium isotherm behavior of the two enantiomers on the chiral stationary phase was described using the competitive Tóth isotherm model. An excellent agreement between the experimental and the calculated profiles was observed in the whole range of experimental conditions investigated, at low and high column loadings. |
