Paper chromatography analysis: A vital tool for chemistry
Author(s): Mandeep
Abstract: A separation process is a method that converts a mixture or solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct products. Now-a-days, a large number of techniques are used to separate the components of a mixture like separating funnel, centrifugation, simple distillation, fractional distillation, chromatography etc. Chromatography is a one of the best technique for separation. Paper chromatography is a simplest and faster technique compare to other chromatography techniques. Paper chromatography as the name indicates it carried out on paper. An simple filter paper can be used for it. Different type of paper can also be used in it, depending on solvent. The main advantage of paper chromatography is its simplicity, low cost and hassle free operation. It can be run in various modes such as ascending, descending, 2-D mode etc. Its detection is analyzed by visually, fluoresce of substances using UV, Enzymatic and microbiological methods.
