Abstract:
This work presents a modification to the real adsorbed solution model using a Flory-Huggins type of expression that was reported previously. This modification consists in replacing the Flory-Huggins activity coefficient by the spreading pressure dependent approach. This new model takes into account explicitly the adsorbate-adsorbate interactions taking place in the adsorbed phase. It provides an excellent prediction of the competitive, ternary adsorption equilibrium of benzyl alcohol, 2-phenylethanol and 2-methyl benzyl alcohol observed in a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic system using information merely derived from the single-component adsorption experimental data.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
