Abstract:
The curves of analysis solution of mathematical model for continuous rotary annular chromatography (CAC) coincide with experimental results well, but some points are derived from theoretical values due to the errors from experimental method. The width and the angles of maximum mass concentration solution at outlet (retention number), except for the other experimental conditions, depend on phase equilibrium coefficient and transfer functions. Because the precision of model parameters is strongly affected by the correction of experimental method, the sensitivities of phase equilibrium coefficients and transfer functions have been studied, in which the phase equilibrium coefficient is the key parameters to improve the separation effect of CAC process.
