Silica Gel Column Chromatography

TLC or Thin Layer Chromatography would generally refer to the process or a technique used to separate combined mixtures. Here, the Silica Gel TLC would refer to the phase of the TLC that contains Silica Gel plate under which the mixed samples are kept to get separated. This phase is meant to be the Stationary phase. In Silica Gel TLC, the silica gels or silica Acid would be used to separate the combined mixture. Here, Silica Gel acts as an adsorbent and this is the only method that is most commonly used in the partition chromatography. In this thin layer chromatography materials like alumina is used normally with Silica Gel and both of these adsorbents would act to make partitions and adsorption methods. In this chromatography, the solid layers would get formed by applying the slurry of suitable solvents on the clean glass plate. This method of separating the mixture within the stationary phase of TLC would refer to commercial spreading. This is to control the thickness of the layers...
