Thin Layer Chromatography of Synthetic Dyes on Antimonic Acid and on Admixture of Antimonic Acid and Silica Gel ‘G’ in a Mixed Solvent System

Abstract

Thin layer chromatography of synthetic dyes have been performed on antimonic acid and on admixture of antimonic acid and silica gel ‘G’ in a mixed solvent system i. e. Butanol: Acetic acid: water (25:5:10). The separation potential of antimonic acid and silica gel ‘G’ has been explored. Several important separations of closely related dyes have been achieved as a result of such studies.
