Influences of temperature,pressure and eluent composition on the behavior of binary eluents at sub- and supercritical conditions. Pentane and diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether

Summary In supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), studies on binary eluents composed of pentane and diethyleneglycol dimethylether were performed in the concentration rage of 5 to 15% of the ether compound and at pressures of 20 to 50 bar. Influences of temperature, pressure and eluent composition on the behavior of the mobile phase were found to closely resemble those for pentane-dioxane mixtures. Resolution depended on variations in capacity ratios, selectivities, and plate numbers. The critical data for diethyleneglycol dimethylether were estimated by means of different group contribution methods.
