Elution and solvation processes in liquid chromatography may be controlled by temperature changes. In the case of solvent adsorption, the temperature influences the amount of adsorbed solvent as well as the enthalpy and entropy of the solvation process. In this work, the thermodynamic parameters of organic solvents used as organic modifiers in the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromato...

Selection of mobile phases markedly affect separation efficiency of eluted probes in gas chromatography (GC), the mobile phases have a pronounced effect on the retention times and efficiency of natural gas separation. In solid chromatography, carrier gases which are adsorbed to any extent occupy more active adsorption sites, reducing the net heat of adsorption of the eluted zone. The efficiency...

Molecularly imprinted polymers for dimethoate recognition were synthesized by the precipitation polymerization technique using methyl methacrylate (MMA) as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker. The morphology, adsorption and recognition properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), static adsorption test, and competitive ads...

Parameters of equilibrium adsorption obtained from experiments using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) were used to evaluate the applicability of the steric mass-action (SMA) model to describe the adsorption of lactoferrin to cryogel resin under different conditions. The adsorption of lactoferrin on continuous supermacroporous cryogel with immobilized Cu ions was evaluated in bat...

Visceral leishmaniasis, a disease caused by Leishmania infantum chagasi, represents a major public health problem in many areas of the world. However, there is currently no vaccine for human use. The aim of this work was to purify the 503 antigen of Leishmania i. chagasi directly from unclarified Escherichia coli feedstock through expanded bed adsorption (EBA) chromatography. Batch experiments ...

The requirements of liquid chromatography (LC) separation systems to separate proteins are often different from those of small molecules as the inherent properties of proteins can result in loss by adsorption, precipitation at zero charge or broad and asymmetric peaks in liquid chromatography. This article looks at the specific separation problems of proteins; the advantages and disadvantages o...
