Countercurrent Chromatography

Download or read book Countercurrent Chromatography written by Jean-Michel Menet and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-07-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering definitions, concepts, and applications, Countercurrent Chromatography recounts the developments in two types of liquid-liquid chromatography termed countercurrent-high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) and centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC)-as well as the HSCCC-derived cross-axis CCC, a versatile technique for purification in biotechnology applications. The text investigates mechanisms for mixing liquid phases, particularly hydrostatic techniques for CPC and hydrodynamic for coil planet centrifuges. It also explores the use of countercurrent chromatography in inorganic analysis, chiral separation, and the separation of natural products.
