Adsorption Chromatography
Adsorption Chromatography is based on the differential rate of adsorption of the solute to the stationary phase. In Adsorption Chromatography the mobile phase is liquid or gas in which solute is dissolved. Depending on the component’s absorptivity, different solutes are adsorbed on the adsorbent to varying degrees in the adsorption chromatography process. The components with higher absorptivity are carried to a shorter distance than those with lower absorptivity in this case as well by moving a mobile phase over a stationary phase. Adsorption Chromatography is used in the identification of carbohydrates, and fats, separation and isolation of amino acids, antibiotics, etc.
Chromatography
Chromatography is the separation of mixtures by distribution between two or more immiscible phases. In chemical laboratories, where it is used for analysis, isolation, and purification, chromatography is the most used separation technique. It is also frequently used in the chemical process industry as a part of small and large-scale production.
There are many types of Chromatography, e.g. Adsorption Chromatography, Thin Layer Chromatography, Column Chromatography, Partition Chromatography, etc. Paper Chromatography is an example of Partition Chromatography.
