Lowering Tris buffer concentration in capillary electrochromatography enhances electroosmotic flow (EOF) velocity and separation efficiency. This study reveals nonlinear EOF dynamics and improved analyte separation in silica monoliths under varying ionic strengths and electrical fields.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Separation Science
  • Electrokinetics

Background:

  • Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is crucial for analyte transport and separation in capillary electrochromatography (CEC).
  • Understanding EOF behavior in porous media, like silica monoliths, is essential for optimizing separation performance.
  • Hierarchically structured silica monoliths possess both mesopores and macropores, influencing fluid dynamics and electrokinetic phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of mobile phase ionic strength and applied electrical field strength on EOF velocity and separation efficiency.
  • To analyze nonlinear EOF dynamics and reduced axial dispersion in silica-based hierarchical monoliths.
  • To elucidate the role of nonequilibrium electrokinetic effects in porous media.

Main Methods:

  • Studied EOF velocity and separation efficiency in 100 µm ID capillary monoliths with varying Tris buffer concentrations (10⁻⁵ to 10⁻² M).
  • Applied electrical field strengths up to 10⁵ V/m.
  • Analyzed nonlinear EOF dynamics and axial dispersion in relation to nonequilibrium concentration polarization.

Main Results:

  • Observed a nonlinear dependence of EOF velocity on applied electrical field strength as Tris concentration decreased below 10⁻³ M.
  • Achieved over 50% increase in EOF velocities at 10⁵ V/m compared to linear predictions.
  • Improved separation efficiency (plate heights approaching 2 µm for ethylbenzoate) by over 50% as Tris concentration was reduced from 10⁻³ to 10⁻⁴ M.

Conclusions:

  • Decreasing mobile phase ionic strength promotes nonequilibrium concentration polarization in strong electrical fields, leading to nonlinear EOF.
  • The coupling of electrostatics and hydrodynamics in ion-permselective regions explains the observed nonlinear EOF and enhanced separation.
  • Optimizing ionic strength and electrical field strength in hierarchical monoliths is key to maximizing CEC performance.
