How Does Partitioning Enable Simultaneous Separation of Many Components?
Some points on how partitioning enable simultaneous separation of many components:
- The partitioning mechanism enables simultaneous resolution of numerous components present in a single mixture.
- Each component establishes its own equilibrium distribution between the stationary and mobile liquid phases at the same time.
- These independent partitioning processes operate in parallel, allowing many compounds to separate together within one chromatographic run.
