Chromatographic Characterization of Liquid Phases and Solutes for Column Selection and Identification

Abstract

Chromatographic characterization of stationary liquids and solutes by means of characteristic data capable of being obtained with the aid of the retention-index system, is a valuable aid in laboratory practice. Approximation in the index system is easy to comprehend and use; however, its accuracy is limited. The multiple parameter system of linear combination increases accuracy to a significant degree, albeit at the expense of greater computational effort. The tabulated data facilitate selection of column and identification on the basis of chromatographic retention data.
