Colloidal precipitates

The high insolubility of some precipitates can result in an unfavorable relative supersaturation. This can lead to colloidal particles with a large surface-to-mass ratio, where adsorption is promoted. For instance, in the precipitation of silver chloride, silver ions are adsorbed on the surface of the colloidal particles, forming a primary layer. This layer attracts ions of opposite charge (such as nitrate ions), forming a diffuse secondary layer of adsorbed ions. This electric double layer...

Analyte Adsorption and Distribution01:09

Analyte Adsorption and Distribution

1.1K
In certain chromatographic separations, solutes transfer between the mobile phase and the stationary phase via sorption, which typically refers to the process of adsorption. For many chromatographic systems, the sorption process often depends on the polarity of the compounds—an expression of the overall dipole moment within the molecule. During the separation process, there is competition between the solute and solvent for adsorption to the stationary phase. Highly polar compounds and...

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 2D COMSOL simulations.
  • Employed coupled Poisson-Nernst-Planck and Navier-Stokes equations.
  • Investigated systems with integrated nanochannels and varying parameters.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated ICP enables transient and stationary stacking and focusing of anionic analytes.
  • Confirmed greatest enhancement occurs at the electrical double layer (EDL) interface.
  • Showed that parallel nanochannels increase perm-selectivity and enhance focusing.

Conclusions:

  • ICP is a powerful tool for analyte preconcentration in micro-/nanofluidic devices.
  • Device geometry, specifically the inclusion of parallel nanochannels, significantly enhances ICP effects.
  • This approach offers improved control over ICP for advanced separation and detection.
