Abstract

Results acquired with tree CCC devices are compared. There is a linear relationship between the minimum volume of mobie phase. Vmin m,. compatible with the actual flow rate. F, and that flow rate. Vc being the volume of the column and S the cross sectional area of the channel where the chromatographic process occurs, the slope of the line Vmin m/Vc = f (F/S) allows comparison of the stability of the stationary phase for various instruments. This relationship leads to an estimation of the average linear velocity of the mobile phase in the Channel, u. namely being the relativevolume in the ducts and flow tubes in the column. The efficiency is much more dependent on the relative volume of the mobile phase than it is on the flow rate for the three instruments, and it generally increases with the relative volume of the mobile phase in the column. As a result, the -esolution decreases very slowly, or not at all. when F and Vmin m are increased.
