Abstract

The use of thin-layer silica gel as a column adsorbent has been investigated. IT was found that excellent separations of a plant wax could be obtained with quantitative recovery. Further, by the prior use of thin-layer chromatography on the same adsorbent it was possible to predict the course of the separation knowing only the elution volume of the first peak and the point at which solvents were changed. Thus thin-layer chromatography may be used to design column separations.
