Abstract

In order to achieve an acceptable production rate at reasonable cost, preparative chromatography must be carried out with phase systems in which the kinetics of mass transfers and adsorption—desorption are fast. Accordingly, band profiles in overloaded chromatographic columns are best understood by considering the ideal model, while the process itself is most suitably modeled using the equilibrium-dispersive model. The former model assumes an infinite column efficiency, while the latter lumps the contributions of axial dispersion and mass transfer resistances into a single apparent dispersion coefficient. The properties and solutions of these models are reviewed. The conditions under which they give satisfactory results are summarized. The excellent agreement between the experimental band profiles of the components of binary mixtures and the individual band profiles calculated with the equilibrium-dispersive model is demonstrated. The degree of agreement is limited only by the accuracy with which the competitive equilibrium isotherms are accounted for.

      This method allowed characterizing the competitive adsorption between the enantiomers. Axial dispersion affects the shape of breakthrough curves, thus impacts the identification of adsorption isotherm parameters [34]. Heater and Liapis, studied the effect of axial dispersion on the efficiency of adsorption process, through modelling.

      However, chromatography on capillary columns is generally characterized by higher speed and resolution, but, as mentioned above, lower sample capacity, which is the crucial point in prep-GC. The optimization of one separation parameter affects the others increasing mobile phase flow rate in order to reduce the collection time results in a decrease in efficiency and, as a consequence, in resolution, which is also impaired if column overloading arises from an excessive sample volume or excessive sample mass [12]. The sample capacity depends in turn on certain variables, such as column internal diameter (ID), length and film thickness (f.t.).

      For a mixture such as natural product with multiple unknown components, it is impossible to obtain the accurate adsorption isotherms and chromatographic models. A considerable simplification of the model with negligible loss of accuracy can be achieved by making some simple assumptions [14]. Flavonoid is one kind of the active components in licorice.
