Abstract
Recent studies in the literature have suggested that the A term in the equation for the plate height , which is the term accounting for interparticle dispersion , is more significant , and may largely determine the column performance in a variety of preparative and analytical high-performance chromatographic processes . In this study , we developed a complete theory for the A term by first defining two ideal regimes , which are the close to equilibrium and far from equilibrium regime , as well as the intermediate regime based on an extension of a result obtained by Wang and Stewart result . The interparticle dispersion in a chromatographic column are studied experimentally and theoretically using HPLC columns containing micropellicular (nonporous) particles so that intraparticle mass transfer is eliminated as a plate height contribution . Single and bi-directional plate height experiments were performed , as well as arrested flow experiments where the 2D band shape in the column was visualized . By using this combined experimental and theoretical approach , our study provided a rigorous foundation for the transcolumn contribution to the plate height , and also a better understanding of the connection between the column packing processes , the structure of a packed chromatographic bed , and the performance of a chromatographic column .
