Acetonitrile is used mainly as a solvent in the purification of butadiene in refineries. Specifically, acetonitrile is fed into the top of a distillation column filled with hydrocarbons including butadiene, and as the acetonitrile falls down through the column, it absorbs the butadiene which is then sent from the bottom of the tower to a second separating tower.
Ion suppression in LC-MS and LC-MS/MS refers to reduced detector response, or signal:noise as a manifested effect of competition for ionisation efficiency in the ionisation source, between the analyte(s) of interest and other endogenous or exogenous (e.g. plasticisers extracted from plastic tubes, [1] mobile phase additives) species which have not been removed from the sample matrix during ...
C 5 H 13 N 3: Molar mass: 115.180 g·mol −1 Appearance Colourless liquid Density: 918 mg mL −1: Melting point: −30 °C (−22 °F; 243 K) Boiling point: 160 to 162 °C (320 to 324 °F; 433 to 435 K)
HPLC is widely used for manufacturing (e.g., during the production process of pharmaceutical and biological products), [4] [5] legal (e.g., detecting performance enhancement drugs in urine), [6] research (e.g., separating the components of a complex biological sample, or of similar synthetic chemicals from each other), and medical (e.g ...
Silica gel particles are commonly used as a stationary phase in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for several reasons, [13] [14] including: High surface area: Silica gel particles have a high surface area, allowing direct interactions with solutes or after bonding of variety of ligands for versatile interactions with the sample molecules, leading to better separations.
It is also used as an acidic titrant in nonaqueous acid-base titration because it behaves as a strong acid in many solvents (acetonitrile, acetic acid, etc.) where common mineral acids (such as HCl or H 2 SO 4) are only moderately strong. With a K a = 5 × 10 14, pK a = −14.7 ± 2.0, [1] triflic acid qualifies as a superacid. It owes many of ...
For extremely polar analytes (e.g. aminoglycoside antibiotics or adenosine triphosphate), higher concentrations of buffer (c. 100 mM) are required to ensure that the analyte will be in a single ionic form. Otherwise, asymmetric peak shape, chromatographic tailing, and/or poor recovery from the stationary phase will be observed.
In chemistry, sparging, also known as gas flushing in metallurgy, is a technique in which a gas is bubbled through a liquid in order to remove other dissolved gas(es) and/or dissolved volatile liquid(s) from that liquid.
