Presentation Transcript

  1. Chromatographic separations • Separation of species prior to detection • Description • Migration rates • Efficiency • Applications

  2. Description • Different components of chromatography • column • support • stationary phase • Different degree of reaction • Chemicals separate into bands • Characteristics of phase exploited to maximize separation • mobile phase • Gas, liquid, supercritical fluid

  3. Description • Different methods available • column chromatography • paper chromatography • gas-liquid chromatography • thin layer chromatography (TLC) • high-pressure liquid chromatography • HPLC • Also called high-performance liquid chromatography

  4. Column Chromatography • chromatogram • concentration versus elution time • strongly retained species elutes last • elution order • analyte is diluted during elution • dispersion • zone broadening proportional to elution time

  5. Column Chromatography • Separations enhanced by varying experimental conditions • adjust migration rates for A and B • increase band separation • adjust zone broadening • decrease band spread

  6. Retention Time • Time for analyte to reach detector • Retention time (tR) • Ideal tracer • Dead time (tM) • Migration rate • v=L/ tR • L=column length • For mobile phase • u=L/ tM

  7. Retention time • Relationship between retention time and distribution constant • V (volume) • c (concentration) • M (mobile phase) • S (stationary phase)

  8. Capacity Factor • Retention rates on column • k'A can be used to evaluate separation • Optimal from 2-10 • Poor at 1 • Slow >20 • Selectivity factor (a) • Larger a means better separations

  9. Broadening • Individual molecule undergoes "random walk" • Many thousands of adsorption/desorption processes • Average time for each step with some variations • Gaussian peak • like random errors • Breadth of band increases down column because more time • Efficient separations have minimal broadening

  10. Theoretical plates • Column efficiency increases with number of plates • N=L/H • N= number of plates, L = column length, H= plate height • Assume equilibrium occurs at each plate • Movement down column modeled

  11. Theoretical Plates • Plate number can be found experimentally • Other factors that impact efficiency • Mobile Phase Velocity • Higher mobile phase velocity • less time on column • less zone broadening • H = A + B/ u + Cu • = A + B/ u + (CS + CM)u • A • multipath term • B • longitudinal diffusion term • C • mass transfer term

  12. Efficiency • Multipath • Molecules move through different paths • Larger difference in path lengths for larger particles • diffusion allows particles to switch between paths quickly and reduces variation in transit time • Diffusion term • Diffusion from zone (front and tail) • Proportional to mobile phase diffusion coefficient • Inversely proportional to flow rate • high flow, less time for diffusion

  13. Efficiency

  14. Ion Exchange Resins • General resin information • Functional Groups • Synthesis • Types • Structure • Resin Data • Kinetics • Thermodynamics • Distribution • Radiation effects • Ion Specific Resins

  15. Ion Exchange Resins • Resins • Organic or inorganic polymer used to exchange cations or anions from a solution phase • General Structure • Polymer backbone not involved in bonding • Functional group for complexing anion or cation

  16. Resins • Properties • Capacity • Amount of exchangeable ions per unit quantity of material • Proton exchange capacity (PEC) • Selectivity • Cation or anion exchange • Cations are positive ions • Anions are negative ions • Some selectivities within group • Distribution of metal ion can vary with solution

  17. Resins • Exchange proceeds on an equivalent basis • Charge of the exchange ion must be neutralized • Z=3 must bind with 3 proton exchanging groups • Organic Exchange Resins • Backbone • Cross linked polymer chain • Divinylbenzene, polystyrene • Cross linking limits swelling, restricts cavity size

  18. Organic Resins • Functional group • Functionalize benzene • Sulfonated to produce cation exchanger • Chlorinated to produce anion exchanger

  20. Resins • Structure • Randomness in crosslinking produces disordered structure • Range of distances between sites • Environments • Near organic backbone or mainly interacting with solution Sorption based resins • Organic with long carbon chains (XAD resins) • Sorbs organics from aqueous solutions • Can be used to make functionalized exchangers

  23. Inorganic Resins • More formalized structures • Silicates (SiO4) • Alumina (AlO4) • Both tetrahedral • Can be combined • (Ca,Na)(Si4Al2O12).6H2O • Aluminosilicates • zeolite, montmorillonites • Cation exchangers • Can be synthesized • Zirconium, Tin- phosphate

  26. Kinetics • Diffusion controlled • Film diffusion • On surface of resin • Particle diffusion • Movement into resin • Rate is generally fast • Increase in crosslinking decrease rate • Theoretical plates used to estimate reactions Swelling • Solvation increases exchange • Greater swelling decreases selectivity

  27. Selectivity • Distribution Coefficient • D=Ion per mass dry resin/Ion per volume • The stability constants for metal ions can be found • Based on molality (equivalents/kg solute) • Ratio (neutralized equivalents) • Equilibrium constants related to selectivity constants • Thermodynamic concentration based upon amount of sites available • Constants can be evaluated for resins • Need to determine site concentration

  28. Ion Selective Resins • Selected extraction of radionuclides • Cs for waste reduction • Am and Cm from lanthanides • Reprocessing • Transmutation • Separation based on differences in radii and ligand interaction • size and ligand • Prefer solid-liquid extraction • Metal ion used as template

  29. Characteristics of Resins • Ability to construct specific metal ion selectivity • Use metal ion as template • Ease of Synthesis • High degree of metal ion complexation • Flexibility of applications • Different functional groups • Phenol • Catechol • Resorcinol • 8-Hydroxyquinoline
