1. What is disadvantage of gas liquid chromatography?
Ans: Slow vaporization of stationary phase leading to change in column criteria,
contaminates the product.
2. What is the common stationary phase in HPLC?
Ans: C8 or C18 compounds attached to silica gel.
3. What is a shockwave?
Ans: If a concentrated stream is used to displace a dilute stream, then liquid front is
termed as shockwave.
4. What is water softening?
Ans: Removal of Ca2+ and Mg2+ from water is known as water softening.
5. We like to soften water having 3 meq/L Mg2+ and 5 meq/L Na+ with superficial
feed velocity 8 cm/min and 3 m column is used with CRT=1eq/L, εe=0.4.
Find feed period.
