Abstract

Development of the large-scale preparative countercurrent chromatographic schemes has been continued by increasing the diameter of the separation column. A 0.55 cm i.d. FEP tube was coaxially coiled around the holder (7.5 cm, 10 cm or 15 cm in diameter) of a horizontal flow-through coil planet centrifuge (15 cm revolutional radius). Performance of each column was evaluated on the separation of dinitrophenyl amino acid samples with a two-phase solvent system composed of chloroform, acetic acid, and 0.1N hydrochloric acid (2:2:1) by using both aqueous and nonaqueous phases as the mobile phase. Experiments with the short preliminary columns (114 ml capacity) revealed that the hydrodynamic distribution of the two solvent phases was sensitively affected by the helical diameter of the column. However, by choosing the proper elution mode of the mobile phase, satisfactory results were obtained with the helical diameters of 7.5 cm and 15 cm at a high flow rate of 500 ml/h under a moderate revolutional speed of 300 rpm. With the long coiled columns (750 ml capacity), the preparative capability of the present scheme was successfully demonstrated on separations of the 1g-quantity sample mixture under optimized operational conditions. Overall results indicated that the sample-loading capacity of the present scheme can be further increased by the use of longer and/or larger-diameter columns.
