COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY

INTRODUCTION

What Is Column Chromatography?

In chemistry, Column chromatography is a technique which is used

to separate a single chemical compound from a mixture dissolved in a

fluid. It separates substances based on differential adsorption of

compounds to the adsorbent as the compounds move through the

column at different rates which allow them to get separated in

fractions. This technique can be used on small scale as well as large

scale to purify materials that can be used in future experiments. This

method is a type of adsorption chromatography technique.
