Abstract
Based on the random walk model and probability theory, general relations between the moments of column residence time and the moments of step sojourn time and step displacement are established. And starting from the mass-balances principle of solute molecules in the mobile and stationary phases, the moments of step sojourn time and step displacement are derived and expressed in terms of the basic parameters. Substituting the step moments into the general relations, the moments of column residence time are then obtained. The expression of retention time is completely identical to the well-known, the expressions of second moment or HETP unite and generalize various expressions of stochastic theory and mass balance theory, and the third and forth moments are given in more exact form.
