Chromatography
In chemistry, you must isolate one substance from another to analyse the substance further
or to prepare it for use in other ways. Chromatography is a process used for separating
mixtures and identifying substances. It can be used to determine a substance's purity.
The mixture is dissolved in a fluid solvent (gas or liquid) called the mobile phase, which is
then carried through a system (a column, a capillary tube, a plate, or a sheet) on which a
material called the stationary phase is fixed. Each substance within a mixture travel at
different velocities in mobile fluid causing them to separate.

Types of chromatography
Paper Chromatography
This type of chromatography is often used to check the purity of pharmaceuticals, detecting
adulterants and to inspect cosmetics. In this type of chromatography, the stationary phase is
paper, and the mobile phase is either an aqueous liquid or a carbon-based solvent such as
propanone. For each chemical in the sample, the separation depends on how strongly
attracted the chemicals components are to the mobile and stationary phase. The paper
itself has a thin coating of water molecules due to the cellulose fibres absorbing moisture
from the air, which may have some minor effects on the results.
Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)
This type of chromatography is used to analyse dyes in fibres, inks and paints. It is also used
in the detection of pesticides and insecticides in food products. TLC is very similar to paper
chromatography but instead of paper, the stationary phase is a thin layer of an unreactive
substance such as silica or aluminium oxide on a flat surface such as glass, metal or plastic.
Each component of the mixture used is absorbed on the solid. Some components will be
carried further up the plate than others due to their difference in solubility and the strength
of their absorption to the stationary phase. May need to use an ultra-violet lamp to see
colourless samples.

Paper chromatography Method

1. Draw a pencil line across the chromatography paper, 1 to 2 cm from the bottom.
2. Use a capillary tube to add small spots of the plant pigment onto the line on the
paper.
3. Place the paper into a container with a suitable solvent in the bottom such as
propanone.
4. Allow the solvent to move through the paper.
5. Before the solvent reaches the top of the paper, mark the height reached by the
solvent with a pencil.
6. Remove the chromatogram.
7. Allow the chromatogram to dry, then measure the distance travelled by each spot
and by the solvent.
8. Calculate the Rf value.
