Separation of a Binary Mixture on Short-Length Adsorbent Layers

Abstract

The separation of a binary mixture on adsorbent layers within a range of efficiency units of 5–200 has been modeled in linear chromatography. The ratios of the components of the mixture have been measured, and it has been shown that the separation factor is only determined by the relative length of the adsorbent layer. It has been found that the velocity of the change in the ratio of the components in the effluent on short-length adsorbent layers changes significantly as opposed to the regularities found earlier based on the plate theory.
