An Introduction to Analytical Separations
As shown in Table 16-1, several general methods are used for dealing with interferences in an analysis, including (1) masking, (2) chemical or electrolytic precipitation, (3) distillation, (4) solvent extraction, (5) ion exchange, (6) chromatography, and (7) electrophoresis.

16A Masking
In masking, a reagent is added to the solution of the sample to immobilize, or chemically bind, the interferent as a complex that no longer contributes to or attenuates the signal from the analyte.

16D-1 Principles
The partition of a solute between two immiscible phases is an equilibrium phenomenon that is governed by the distribution law.

16D-1 PrinciplesThe concentration of A remaining in an aqueous
solution after i extractions with an organic solvent ([A]i) is given by the equation
where [A]i is the concentration of A remaining in the aqueous solution after extracting Vaq mL of the solution having an original concentration of [A]0 with i portions of the organic solvent, each with a volume of Vorg.

16D-2 Applying Extraction to Inorganic Separations
Separating Metal Ions as Chelates Many organic chelating agents are weak acids that react
with metal ions to give uncharged complexes that are very soluble in organic solvents, such as ethers, hydrocarbons, ketones, and chlorinated species. Most metal chelates, on the other hand, are nearly insoluble in water.

16D-2 Applying Extraction to Inorganic Separations
Separating Metal Ions as Chelates the equilibria that develop when an aqueous solution of a
divalent cation, such as zinc(II), is extracted with an organic solution containing a large excess of 8-hydroxyquinoline.
The equilibrium constant for this reaction is

16D-2 Applying Extraction to Inorganic Separations
Separating Metal Ions as Chelates Equilibrium constants K vary widely from metal ion to metal
ion, and these differences often make it possible to selectively extract one cation from another by buffering the aqueous solution at a level where one is extracted nearly completely and the second remains largely in the aqueous phase.

16E Separating Ions by Ion Exchange
Ion exchange is a process by which ions held on a porous, essentially insoluble solid are exchanged for ions in a solution that is brought in contact with the solid.

16F-1 General Description of Chromatography
Components of a mixture are carried through the stationary phase by the flow of the mobile phase, and separations are based on differences in migration rates among the mobilephase components.

16F-2 Classifying Chromatographic Methods
In column chromatography, the stationary phase is held in a narrow tube, and the mobile phase is forced through the tube under pressure or by gravity. In planar chromatography, the stationary phase is supported on a flat plate or in the pores of a paper.

16F-8 Variables Affecting Column Efficiency
The Effect of Mobile-Phase Flow Rate The extent of band broadening depends on the flow rate of
the mobile phase. Figure 16-11 show a minimum in H at low linear flow rates.
Copyright © 2011 Cengage Learning16-37
16F-8 Variables Affecting Column Efficiency
The Effect of Mobile-Phase Flow Rate Plate heights for liquid chromatographic columns are an
order of magnitude or more smaller than those encountered with gas chromatographic columns.
Offsetting this advantage is that it is impractical to employ liquid chromatographic columns longer than about 25 to 50 cm (because of high-pressure drops), whereas gas chromatographic columns may be 50 m or more in length. Consequently, the total number of plates and thus overall column efficiency are usually superior with gas chromatographic columns.
Copyright © 2011 Cengage Learning16-38
16F-8 Variables Affecting Column Efficiency
Other Variables That Influence Plate Heights It has been found that plate heights can be decreased, and
thus column efficiency increased, by decreasing the particle size of column packings, by lowering the viscosity of the mobile phase. Increases in temperature also reduce band broadening in most cases.

16G Sample Preparation
Sampling is an important step in analytical chemistry. It determines the quality of an analysis.
The lengthy process of sample preparation accumulates great errors.
Selective sample handling technique can go a step further to restore, or even enrich, the concentration from dilution.
Copyright © 2011 Cengage Learning16-43
16G Sample Preparation
The analyst must care about the sample cleanup to remove interference by fractionation, derivatization or extraction.
The traditional liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) serves a need for sample preparation.
Solid-phase extraction (SPE) comes in two versions: one is the loosely packed tiny column of silica-based bonded phase.
Copyright © 2011 Cengage Learning16-44
16G Sample Preparation
Another version resembling an HPLC guard column is sturdy and easy for automation.
If dilution from sample preparation calls for enrichment, solid phase microextraction (SPME) is a choice.
