Abstract
The combined continuous and preparative gas-liquid Chromatographic system was considered for separating continuously three close-boiling components, diethylether, dimethoxymethane, and dichloromethane. Their concentration profiles were simulated by the methematical model, which assumed the uniform distribution of stationary liquid phase and the linearity of the equilibrium isotherm.
The operational principles of the system are that the least-absorbed component of the three components can be obtained purely before the elution of the most-absorbed components if the mixture is continuously injected into the one of the two sections (partition section) and at the same time, in the other section (desorption section), the three components remained in the column can be separated by the adjusting the experimental conditions and the column configuration. If the operations in the two sections are simultaneously finished within a time (switching time), continuous separations of the three components are feasible. The effect of the various operating conditions on the resolution is investigated. From the results of the simulations, the resolution is greatly affected by the additional column length in the desorption section and the switching lime can be determined by the desorbenl velocity.
