Stationary phase interactions in supercritical fluid chromatography

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6626499

Solute and solvent interactions with the stationary phase are described. A simple thermodynamic model describing retention in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is used to determine the partial molar volume of the solute in the stationary phase at infinite dilution. Adsorption isotherms for 2-propanol on SE-54 as a function of density, temperature, and mole fraction of 2-propanol were studied for the binary fluid system of 2-propanol/CO/sub 2/ using SFC-mass spectrometry (MS). The amount of 2-propanol co-solvent sorbed in the stationary phase decreased with increasing pressure of the binary fluid mobile phase. 8 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
