Silica Gel Column Chromatography

Chromatography is a physical process, used to analyze the trace amounts of chemicals from a complex mixture. Chromatography is a valuable technique and gives accurate results, mainly because of the Silica Gel absorbent. In Chromatography, the most commonly used is Column Chromatography Technique. To avoid the loss of solvents volume and for reasonable separation, Adsorbent Silica gel chromatography is in great demand. Since Silica Gel has a closely controlled pore size, it allows the components of complex mixture to pass through the absorbent, based on the affinity. Strongly absorbed component by the Silica Gel remains on the top of the column, where as remaining components flow down in the Silica Gel column. About Silica gel Column Chromatography Silica Gel grades called as mesh, act as barrier and helps in determining the amount of single component present in a complex mixture. This Silica gel mesh absorbent is available with different labels based on the mesh size. The ...
