Abstract:
The adsorption isotherms of phenol were acquired by frontal analysis on six different reversed phase adsorbents from five different organic solvent solutions. The end-capped octadecyl columns only differed in the bonding density of the C(18) ligands. The inverse method was used to confirm the estimated isotherm parameters derived from the frontal experiments. The effect of the bonding density of the end-capped octadecyl bonded phase on the adsorption properties of phenol from different mobile phase compositions was investigated. The adsorption behavior of phenol has changed from Langmuir type to BET type with the change of the organic modifier and the bonding density of the adsorbent.

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...

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Introduction
In HPLC, two phases play a critical role in the separation process:
Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules, atoms, and/or ions)...
