Radial Chromatography

Radial chromatography is a form of chromatography used to separate chemical mixtures. It involves a stationary phase like silica gel, aluminum oxide, or cellulose immobilized in a circular plate, and a liquid mobile phase or solvent that moves compounds through the stationary phase. Radial chromatography is commonly used to study the different colors found in mixtures like magic markers, where the technique can separate the mixture into individual components revealing their unique colors.

Radial chromatography

= Radial chromatogaphy is a form of chromatography, a preparatory technique for separating


chemical mixtures.

=Radial chromatography is a technique used to separate mixture of compounds. It is


composed by a stationary phase which is normally a silica gel, aluminum oxide or cellulose
immobilized in a circular plate. A liquid phase which is the solvent that moves the compound
by the stationary phase.
=Often a mixture contains two or more materials that each have their own

color. These colors can be hidden when the mixture is formed. In this
experiment you will use a technique called radial chromatography to
study the colors found in magic markers. A common device used for this technique is
a Chromatotron.
= It is a common technique for isolating compounds and can be compared to column
chromatography as a similar process.
