New Device for Adding Polar Modifiers to Carbon Dioxide Mobile Phase for Supercritical Fluid Chromatography

Abstract

Adding additional components to supercritical carbon dioxide in supercritical fluid chromatography can extend or significantly alter the fluid solvating properties. Polar samples which are difficult to be analyzed with pure supercritical CO₂ because of their high polarity can be separated by adding polar modifiers to supercritical CO₂. In this paper, a new mixing device using a teflon high capacity filter for adding polar modifiers to carbon dioxide mobile phase is introduced. This new mixing device could keep the amount of modifier in the mobile phase constant for a much longer time than a saturator column. The amount of water or methanol dissolved in supercritical CO₂ was measured by amperometric microsensor which is made of thin film of perfluorosulfonate ionomer(PFSI).     

Chromatographic investigation of the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the glass transition temperature of a polymer and the solubility of a third component (additive)

The effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the glass transition temperature of a polymer, PMMA, has been investigated using molecular probe chromatography. The probe solute was iso-octane, and the specific retention volumes of this solute in pure PMMA and mixtures of PMMA with CO₂ were measured over a temperature range of 0 to 180°C and CO₂ pressures from 1 to 75 atm. The amount of CO₂ dissolved in the polymer was calculated from a model fit to previously published solubility data determined chromatographically. Classical van't Hoff-type plots were used to determine the glass transition temperature of CO₂-impregnated PMMA from low pressure up to 46 atm of CO₂. Solvent-induced plasticization was observed with the glass transition temperature decreasing by about 40°C. At some pressures, glass transitions at low temperatures could not be determined from the van't Hoff plots because of the proximity of the polymer glass transition temperature to the gas–liquid transition temperature for CO₂. For these pressures, a new method was developed to determine the glass transition composition. The glass transition pressure was then calculated from the measured composition and temperature using an isotherm model. In every case, the glass transition temperature decreased linearly with increasing concentration of CO₂ in the polymer. However, at higher compositions, the glass transition pressure decreased with increasing composition and decreasing temperature. The observed retention volume of iso-octane with PMMA in a glassy state was correlated with an adsorption model developed from a theory for liquid–solid chromatography derived by Martire. This model accurately described the observed decrease in retention of iso-octane by adsorption on the surface of glassy PMMA with increasing concentration of CO₂ dissolved in the polymer. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The Magnetic Field Effect on the Polymerization of Styrene in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Over the past decade there has been a growing interest in using supercritical fluids (SCFs) to promote reactions and to replace hazardous solvents with environmentally benign solvents, such as supercritical CO2 and H2O.

Microfluidic Studies of Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) sequestration, storage and recycling will greatly benefit from comprehensive studies of physical and chemical gas–liquid processes involving CO₂. Over the past five years, microfluidics emerged as a valuable tool in CO₂‐related research, due to superior mass and heat transfer, reduced axial dispersion, well‐defined gas–liquid interfacial areas and the ability to vary reagent concentrations in a high‐throughput manner. This Minireview highlights recent progress in microfluidic studies of CO₂‐related processes, including dissolution of CO₂ in physical solvents, CO₂ reactions, the utilization of CO₂ in materials science, and the use of supercritical CO₂ as a “green” solvent.     

Isocratic Separation of Some Food Additives by Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

In recent years, concern about food safety has been growing. The use of food additives in different countries is limited by specific regulations. Therefore, analytical methods that simultaneously determine artificial sweeteners and preservatives are advantageous. High performance liquid chromatography has been the most popular choice for the determination of food additives. In this study, reversed-phase liquid chromatography was developed for the separation of α-aspartame, sodium saccharin, acesulfame-K, vanillin, sorbic acid and benzoic acid. The effects of the proportion of the organic modifier on the chromatographic separation were investigated in order to separate these additives. The results showed that optimum chromatographic separation for these compounds takes place when the acetonitrile content in the mobile phase was 15% containing ammonium acetate buffer (0.005 M). It was concluded that the best separation was obtained with YMC-ODS pack column by using this mobile phase at pH 4.0. All additives were separated within 40 min. The RP-HPLC-UV method was validated in terms of LOD/LOQ, linearity, recovery and repeatability. This method was used for the determination of α-aspartame, acesulfame-K and benzoic acid in cola and instant powder drinks.     

Direct on-line coupling of small subcritical and supercritical fluid extractors with packed column supercritical fluid chromatography

Summary A mini extractor of 85 L void volume and a micro extractor of 3–4 L void volume have been coupled directly with a packed column SFC and used under sub- and supercritical conditions. The mini extractor is suitable for holding adsorbates which can be on-line extracted and the extract chromatographed (direct SFE-SFC). The micro extractor can be used for direct sample introduction of liquid and solid materials under SF conditions. Thus any solvent interference with the sample and the chromatographic conditions is excluded. Standard samples of wood tar residue, engine oil, and metal organic compounds have been tested.

Study of the Effect of Mobile Phase Additives on Retention in Reversed Phase HPLC Using Linear Solvation Energy Relationships

Linear solvation energy relationships (LSERs) were used to delineate which specific intermolecular interactions are responsible for changes in retention for a variety of well characterized analytes when acidic and basic additives were used in reversed phase HPLC. The effects of trifluoroacetic acid, triethylamine and a combination of trifluoroacetic acid and triethylamine on the LSERs were compared to those observed in the absence of additives. These effects were examined using four different mobile phase modifiers and five different stationary phases. Trifluoroacetic acid alone and in combination with triethylamine produced LSER regression coefficients nearly identical to those obtained with no additive present in the mobile phase. Triethylamine alone produced different LSER regression coefficients from the other systems unless the mobile phase contained trifluoroethanol as the mobile phase modifier, or the stationary phase consisted of a polymeric support.
