Abstract
The chromatographic behavior (retention, elution strength, efficiency, peak asymmetry and selectivity) of some aromatic diamines in the presence of methanol with or without anionic surfactant SDS in the four different reversed phased liquid chromatographic (RPLC) modes, i.e., hydro-organic, micellar (MLC), low submicellar (LSC) and high submicellar (HSC), was investigated. In the three surfactant-mediated modes, the surfactant monomers coat the stationary phase even up to 70 % methanol; this results in the suppression of peak tailing (by masking the silanol groups on the stationary phase). In MLC and HSC, the solute retention decreases by increasing the surfactant concentration, while this situation was reversed in LSC. In the region between MLC and HSC modes (25–50 % methanol), retention of late eluting solutes was increased by increasing methanol content which is seemingly due to disaggregation of SDS micelles. Changes in selectivity were observed after changing the concentrations of SDS and methanol, in a greater extent when concentration of SDS was changed. Among the four studied RPLC modes, HSC showed the best efficiency with nearly symmetrical peaks. Prediction of retention of solutes in HSC based on a mechanistic retention model combined with Pareto-optimality method allowed the full resolution of target diamines in practical analysis times.
