Abstract

In the controversy over an article entitled “Chromatography as a Scientific Discipline” by V.G. Berezkin, it was pointed out that the subdivision of chromatographic processes into “sorption–sieve chromatography” and “field nonsorption chromatography” is inadmissible. It was demonstrated that all chromatographic processes, including flow fractionation in a transverse force field, are in principle two-phase (or polyphase) processes. It was illustrated that a longitudinal field in a flow cannot introduce a chromatographic component into the system. An additional definition of chromatography as a phenomenon was proposed on the basis of key points revealed by Professor Berezkin.
