Thermally-Treated Clay as a Stationary Phase in Liquid Chromatography

K E. Miller, Thomas J. Bruno

Abstract

Spray-dried, spherical synthetic hectorite particles are thermally-treated andised as adsorbent materials in reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography. The retention of a series of mono- and di-substituted aromatimompounds is evaluated to study the retention mechanisms on the clay mineralRetention of solutes on thermally-treated clays is markedly different than that measured on octadecyl silica (ODS) column under identical conditions, but remarkably similar to retention of the same solutes on porous graphitic carbor-columns. The clay columns also have enhanced selectivity over the ODS column in the separation of positional isomers of dinitrobenzene. The proposed retenibn mechanism is governed by 2 combination of attractive dispersiveforces aswell as dipole-induced dipole interactions between the surface of the clay ancthe aromatic solutes.
