| Abstract: | A computer-assisted method is presented for optimization of multicomponent solvent mobile phase selection for separation of O-ethyl-N-isopropyl phosphoro (thioureido) thioates in reversed-phase HPLC and four geometric isomers of pesticides Decis in normal-phase HPLC. The method is based on Snyder's solvent selection triangle concept using a statistical method. The optimization of the separation over the experimental region is based on a special polynomial estimation from seven experimental runs, and resolution (Rs) is used as the selection criterion. Excellent agreement was obtained between predicted data and experimental results. |
