Abstract

In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of a silica gel column in ion-exclusion chromatography, the elution behavior of aliphatic carboxylic acids was investigated on an unmodified silica gel column having cation-exchange characteristics. When water was used as an eluent, the elution order of the carboxylic acids was dependent on the p K a and the hydrophobicity, but the resolution between strong acids, e.g. HNO 3, and carboxylic acids was not satisfactory. Therefore, the composition of eluents containing sulfuric acid and organic modifiers was investigated for the separation of HNO 3 and C 1–C 10 aliphatic carboxylic acids. When 0.5 m M sulfuric acid containing 0.05% heptanol was used as an eluent, an excellent ion-exclusion chromatographic separation was achieved in 30 min using UV-detection at 220 nm.
