Abstract

Abstract This paper will summarize several new findings obtained in our laboratory on the use of micellar mobile phases in liquid chromatography. The topics to be addressed include (i) stationary phase modification by the mobile phase surfactant in micellar liquid chromatography, (ii) investigation of the retention mechanism in micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) using an alkyl-benzene homologous series, (iii) evaluation of the effects of organic additives upon retention and efficiency in MLC, and (iv) preliminary characterization of several new classes of surfactant molecules for use in MLC. The information gained from these studies provides new insights into the dynamics of MLC and demonstrates their potential usefulness in several new separation applications including the resolution of optical isomers.
