Hydrodynamics of Centrifugal Partition Chromatography

  • Chapter

Abstract

The hydrodynamics of Centrifugal Partition Chromatography (CPC), an interesting analytical and preparative scale separation technique, are being investigated for modelling and scale-up. The influences of input variables on hold-up and pressure drop have been measured with an analytical scale CP-chromatograph; a preliminary overview of the first results is given.

It is assumed that a number of flow regimes are possible. The formation of individual droplets of mobile phase in the stationary phase is questionable; it is more likely that jets and bypasses are formed.

The maximal hold-up of the stationary phase in an analytical scale CPC-column is affected by flow rate and centrifugal field; more stationary phase (up to 73 vol. %) can be retained when the rotation frequency is increased, while the stationary phase hold-up gradually decreases with increasing flow rate.
