Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles Part 2

In chromatography technique, the purification of compound is independent of physical state of the pure compound (stationary phase). Chromatography is based on the principle of adsorbtion. Different substances are differently adsorbed.
The technique of chromatography uses the difference in the rates at which the components of a mixture move through a porous medium (stationary phase) under the influence of some solvent or gas (moving phase).
