Adsorption Chromatography

Differential Adsorption

Adsorption Chromatography works on the principle of Differential Adsorption — different solutes in a mixture are adsorbed onto the (solid) stationary phase to different extents, and this difference is what drives their separation as the mobile phase moves over them. Adsorption chromatography is further divided into two types, described in the sections below: Column Chromatography, where the stationary phase is packed into a vertical glass column, and **Thin Laye …
