Abstract
Fundamental characteristics of a new type of chromatography with micellar solutions of ionic surfactants were examined. Electrokinetic phenomena in open-tubular capillaries move two phases, aqueous and micellar, with different velocities and micellar solubilization operates as the distribution process of solutes. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions and a 0.05 mm i.d. x 650 mm fused silica tube were employed and high dc voltages up to 25 kV were applied. Linear relationships were observed between current and migration velocities of water, micelle, and any solute, but not between applied voltages and the velocities. This discrepancy can be reasonably interpreted in terms of the temperature rise of the solution in the tube resulting from Joule heating. Optimum resolutions can be obtained when the capacity factor is about 2, because retention times are limited between those of an insolubilized solute or water and a totally solubilized solute or micelle. Observed dependence of capacity factors on current can also be explained by the temperature rise. Thermodynamic parameters in micellar solubilization were presented. 22 references, 10 figures, 4 tables.
