Abstract:
The inverse method (IM) is an attractive approach for estimating adsorption isotherm parameters in liquid chromatography (LC), mainly due to its experimental simplicity and low sample consumption. This article presents a new experimental approach, the inverse method on plateaus (IMP), which uses elution profiles on concentration plateaus together with IM. This approach enabled us to obtain very accurate adsorption isotherms that agreed well with those estimated by means of frontal analysis over the entire concentration range under consideration. IMP is recommended when accurate adsorption isotherm estimates are required, and standard IM is insufficient.

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...
