Abstract: | Factors affecting the dispersion of solutes in expanded bed chromatography were experimentally investigated to characterize the behavior in small columns. Pulse response curves were measured with a vitamin B12 tracer, and HETP (height equivalent to a theoretical plate) values were calculated from peak variance and retention time. Approximately 15 min were required to attain a stable steady state expanded bed height with constant HETP values. HETP values ranged from 0.8 to 1.6 cm and did not change appreciably with the degree of expansion (1.5–3.5 fold), column diameter (1.6 and 2.6 cm), column temperature (293–308 K) or settled bed height (ca. 4–11 cm). A very small column (1.6 cm diam. and 4.2 cm-settled bed height) was successfully expanded and axial mixing measured could be useful for conducting scale down experiments. |
