Abstract:
The retention behaviour of fatty alcohol ethoxylates and fatty acid methyl ester ethoxylates on various reversed-phase columns in acetone-water has been studied in the regime of liquid exclusion-adsorption chromatography at different temperatures. Straight lines were obtained in the van't Hoff plots. The entropy and enthalpy changes were found to be negative (at least in the range of lower oligomers) and showed a dependence of the number of oxyethylene units. For higher oligomers, both entropy and enthalpy changes approach a constant value. This can be explained by the existence of a rather thick layer of organic solvent close to the surface of the stationary phase.

Polar components tend to bind strongly to the silica gel, causing them to move slowly through the column. In contrast, nonpolar compounds...
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...
