Potential of Using Limestone Rocks Accumulated in Al-Samawa Stone Quarry, South Iraq, for The Stationary Phase in A Column Chromatography Separation

This investigation aims to determine whether it is feasible use the limestone rocks found in Al-Samawa stone quarry southern Iraq as stationary phase column chromatography separation. Together with chromatographic application, physical and chemical characteristics of are examined. SiO2, SO4, PO4, NO3, Cl negative ions, while Ca, Mg, Na, K, Li positive ions. The samples characterized via analysis. results suggest that could be used an adsorbent material for separation techniques. Additionally, from Nasiriyah refinery's crude oil can separate oil.
