Early work in the field wasperformed under a broader headingdense gas chromatogra-phy. Related work in the field uses subcritical or near-
6、criticalconditions to affect separation.3.2 Separation is achieved by differences in the distributionof the components of a sample between the mobile andstationary phases, causing them to move through the column atdifferent rates (differential migration).3.3 In supercritical fluid chromatography, th

17、when a deliberate change in the mobile phasecomposition is made during the chromatographic procedure.Isocratic intervals may be included in the gradient program.4. Apparatus4.1 PumpsThe function of the pumps is to deliver themobile phase at a controlled flow rate to the chromatographiccolumn.4.1.1 S
18、yringe Pumps have a piston that advances at acontrolled rate within a smooth cylinder to displace the mobilephase.4.1.2 Reciprocating Pumps have a single or dual chamberfrom which mobile phase is displaced by reciprocating pis-ton(s) or diaphragm(s).4.2 Sample Inlet Systems represent the means for i
19、ntroduc-ing samples into the columns.4.2.1 Direct Injection is a sample introduction techniquewhereby the entire volume of sample is swept onto the head ofthe analytical column. Its use is most prevalent in packedcolumn SFC.4.2.2 Split-Flow Injection introduces only a portion of thesample volume ont
20、o the analytical column so as to preventoverloading of the column in open tubular SFC. This isachieved by the use of a splitter tee or similar contrivance, suchthat the incoming slug of sample is divided between theanalytical column and a flow restrictor vented to waste. Theamount of sample deposite
21、d on the column is a function of theratio of the flow to the column versus the flow through thisrestrictor. This ratio can thus be adjusted for different samplesand column capacities.4.2.3 Timed-Split (Moving-Split) Injection achieves thesame end result as split-flow injection. The volume of samplei
22、ntroduced onto the column is governed by the rapid back-and-forth motion of an internal-loop sample rotor in a valve. Thetime interval between the two motions determines the volumeof sample injected, with shorter times delivering smallervolumes.4.2.4 On-Line Supercritical Extraction is a means of di
23、-rectly introducing a sample or portion of a sample into asupercritical fluid chromatograph. The sample is placed in anextraction cell and extracted with the supercritical fluid. Theextraction effluent containing the solutes of interest are ulti-mately transferred to the column by the action of swit
24、ching orsampling valves. This can be accomplished with or withoutsolute focusing (that is, using a suitable trap such as acryogenic trapping).4.3 Columns consist of tubes that contain the stationaryphase and through which the supercritical fluid mobile phaseflows.4.3.1 Packed Column Supercritical Fl
25、uid Chromatogra-phy uses an active solid or a liquid that is chemically bondedto a solid and packed into a column, generally stainless steel orfused silica; as the stationary phase.4.3.2 Wall-Coated Open-Tubular Supercritical Fluid Chro-matography uses a liquid that is chemically bonded to the wallo
26、f an open-tubular column as stationary phase. Fused silicatubing columns, internal diameter (i.d.) 100 m, may shatterat pressures employed in SFC.Ahigh degree of crosslinking isdesirable to reduce stationary phase solubility in the mobilephase.4.4 Restrictors are devices employed to maintain the pre
27、s-sure in the chromatographic system. The pressure of thesupercritical fluid is usually reduced to ambient after passagethrough the restrictor.The mobile phase flow rate is determinedby the restrictor dimensions or operation. The restrictor isplaced before some types of detectors (for example, flame
28、ionization, mass spectrometer) and after other types of detec-tors (for example, UV).4.4.1 A Linear Restrictor is a length of small i.d. tubing ofuniform bore. Linear restrictors are made of polyimidecoatedfused silica tubing, or stainless steel or other tubing of theappropriate diameter. The amount
29、 of restriction provided isdependent upon both the length and i.d. of the tubing.4.4.2 A Tapered Restrictor is a length of small i.d. tubingwhere one end has been reduced by drawing in a flame in thecase of fused silica tubing, or crimped in the case of metaltubing.4.4.3 An Integral Restrictor (1)3c
30、onsists of a length offused silica tubing with one end closed by heating with amicrotorch. This closed end is then ground until a hole with thedesired initial linear velocity is obtained.4.4.4 A Converging-Diverging Restrictor (2) has the wall ofthe tubing collapsed slightly near one end forming a c
31、onstric-tion. This constriction is similar to a venturi in profile and thepoint of smallest diameter is located about 1 to 2 mm from theend of the tubing.4.4.5 An Orifice is a type of restrictor which uses a metaldisk or diaphragm with an appropriately sized opening. Thistype normally requires an ad
32、apter or holder specifically de-signed to couple the device to a detector.4.4.6 A Porous Frit Restrictor4consists of a length of fusedsilica tubing containing a porous plug at one end.4.4.7 A Back Pressure Regulator consists of a diaphragmvalve which can be adjusted to control the pressure maintaine
33、don its inlet (instrument) side. The outlet discharge pressure isnominally one atmosphere.4.5 Detectors are devices that respond to the presence ofeluted solutes in the mobile phase emerging from the column.Ideally, the response should be proportional to the mass orconcentration of solute in the mob
34、ile phase. Detectors may bedivided either according to the type of measurement or theprinciple of detection.4.5.1 Differential Concentration Detectors measure theproportion of eluted sample component(s) in the mobile phasepassing through the detector. The peak area is inverselyproportional to the mo
35、bile phase flow rate.3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthis standard.4Cortez, H., Pfeiffer, C., Richter, B., and Stevens, T. U. S., Patent No. 4 793 920,1988.E1449 92 (2011)24.5.2 Differential Mass Detectors measure the instanta-neous mass of a component
36、 within the detector per unit time(g/s). The area under the curve is independent of the mobilephase flow rate.5. Reagents5.1 Supercritical Fluid is a fluid state of a substance inter-mediate between a gas and a liquid. A supercritical fluid maybe defined from the accompanying phase diagram (Fig. 1).
37、 Thesupercritical fluid region is defined by temperatures andpressures, both above the critical values. A subcritical fluid (orliquid) is a compound that would usually be a gas at ambienttemperature but is held as a liquid by the application ofpressure below its supercritical point.5.1.1 The Critica
38、l Temperature is the temperature abovewhich a substance cannot be liquefied or condensed no matterhow great the applied pressure.5.1.2 The Critical Pressure is the pressure that would justsuffice to liquefy the fluid at its critical temperature.5.1.3 The Reduced Pressure is the ratio of the workingp
39、ressure to the critical pressure of the substance.5.1.4 The Reduced Temperature is the ratio of the workingtemperature to the critical temperature of the substance.5.1.5 The Density of a supercritical fluid (the weight per unitvolume of the fluid) in chromatographic separations is calcu-lated from a
40、n empirical equation of state.5.2 A Modifier or co-solvent is a substance added to asupercritical fluid to enhance its solvent strength, usually byincreasing the polarity of the mobile phase, or binding to activesites on a stationary phase.5.3 The Stationary Phase is composed of the active immo-bile
41、 materials within the column that selectively retard thepassage of sample components. Inert materials that merelyprovide physical support or occupy space within the columnsare not part of the stationary phase.NOTE 1Extremely porous stationary phases may exhibit exclusionphenomenon in addition to ads
42、orptive interactions.5.3.1 An Interactive Solid is a stationary phase material withbulk homogeneity where the surface effects separation byadsorptive interactions. Examples are silica and alumina.5.3.2 A Bonded Phase is a stationary phase that has beencovalently attached to a solid support. The samp

Octadecylsilyl groups bonded to silica gelparticles and polydimethylsiloxane (or dimethyl polysiloxane)bonded to deactivated fused silica column wall representexamples for packed column and open tubular colum

Itmay consist of porous or impenetrable particles or granules orthe interior wall of the column itself, or a combination of these.5.5 The Column Packing consist
45、s of all the material used tofill packed columns, including the solid support and the bondedphase or the interactive solid.5.6 Solutes are the sample components that are introducedinto the chromatographic system and are transported by themobile phase and elute through the column. Some solutes maybe
46、unretained.6. Readout6.1 A Chromatogram is a plot of detector response againsttime or effluent volume. Idealized chromatograms obtainedwith a differential detector for an unretained substance and oneother component are shown in Fig. 2.6.2 The definitions in 6.2.1-6.2.6 apply to chromatogramsobtained
47、 directly by means of differential detectors or indi-rectly by differentiating the response of integral detectors.6.2.1 ABaseline is that portion of a chromatogram where nodetectable sample components emerge from the column.6.2.2 A Peak is that portion of a chromatogram where asingle detectable comp

49、 2, is the perpendiculardistance measured in the direction of detector response, fromthe peak base to peak maximum.6.2.6 Peak Widths represent retention dimensions parallelto the baseline. Peak width at base or base width, KL in Fig. 2,is the retention dimension of the peak base intercepted by thetangents drawn to the inflection points on both sides of thepeak. Peak width at half height, HJ in Fig. 2, is the retentiondimension drawn at 50 % of peak height parallel to the peakFIG. 1 Phase Diagram FIG. 2 Typical ChromatogramE1449 92 (2011)3base.
