We are currently studying separatory techniques but they are just in textbooks, so I can't really understand how they happen. You know, it's hard to understand these things when I can't even visualize them. So I really thank you for demonstrating these. You're saving my grades.

[@chemfunman]

How to separate a compound where just above a little cap also presents in TLC. So, at the same polarity both are eluting.

[@salehchem4376]

it is helpful indeed , thank you Dr. I have some question, please I need your help, because I am new in organic chemistry, and some information I can not get it in textbook. 1) how many gram from silica can use to sample? some talked 1 gram of sample to 20 gram of silica gel, i do not know about this.

[@salehchem4376]

If my sample is liquid, can I pack it direct in column on silica gel by pipette, or use rotary separator to completely dry, then dissolved in mobile phase after that

[@Aj-lw1ej]

i did this in my final semester of M.Sc biotechnology for a project work paper. i could revise all what i did and some additional information.thanks a lot. please continue this kind of video they are just too rare.

[@chemfunman]

Thank you very much!

[@salehchem4376]

After preparation of column chromatography and it is already to start: Is hexane is compulsory to use as first mobile phase, then after that use hexane : ethyl acetate and change polarity

[@salehchem4376]

If I have sample which is mixture of components but it is a little bit such as 0.01 gram contains example three compounds, here: Can I use any column example 50 Cm, regardless length ? or I have to use only narrow column and short one

[@salehchem4376]

I have some inquiries about (column chromatography). please if you have time to answer, I think like these inquiries are important and I think the answers are very important for any student like me to start work in lab. I sent some question to some channel on youtube, but almost no reply, but here found your answers for almost comments, this is good, you are helpful and excellent doctor, thank you. my question is : If I used wet packing of silica gel to column (slurry), here, can I use any solvent for silica gel until reached slurried, or must use only hexane

[@salehchem4376]

sorry Dr. my questions were many. but I think were important for students or researcher, and I hope your answers will be reference to them and me or any visitor to your channel, for my case I could not get answers for these questions on youtube or textbook; I hope also your channel will be such as source the river in organic chemistry. sorry and thank you again.

[@zliveris12345]

Okay so I plan on performing TLC and traditional column chromatography and I need help. gravity isn't a strong enough force to elute obviously and I don't have a license or funds to get a 5ft nitrogen/O2 tank, and I was thinking an air compressor but those are also expensive. does anyone have any experience with at home chromotography workup? please let me know

[@mimizizo16]

Wow amazing vedio it is very helpful , I have questions about the solvent! after preparing the organic compound based on what we chose the solven? And what if the compound is solid how to add it as a solvent which solven we should use to desolve the compound?

[@chemfunman]

Try to test various solvents to dissolve, such as acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, hexane , etc !

[@rsoundarya4527]

Thank you so much .Very nicely explained. May I know if we use Amberlite XAD resins for column, can we store the resin after running column? If yes, how to store it so that we can use it again.

[@chemfunman]

Why do you want to store?

[@rsoundarya4527]

@@chemfunman Thank you for the reply.. I am not sure, I need to purify enough amount, like around 20-30 litres of bacterial culture, so I was wondering if we can store the resin and reuse it. So is it possible?

[@academicstudent2481]

thank you doctor for this nice video. i have some question: if i did some experiments in the lab and my product was (liquid or oily) here how can run column, i mean add it direct over sand or also must add solvent to product, (this solvent is the same mobile phase or any solvent just until dissolve?)

[@academicstudent2481]

[@chemfunman]

No need

[@shahabfarmani8439]

hi can anyone help me please i have some question about a recipe the organic phase dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and the solvent removed under vacuum. The residue was chromatographed over alumina with elution employing a 3:1 C6H6/CHCl3 mixture, and the collected fraction stripped of solvent under hard vacuum to a constant weight. This free-base solid can be recrystallized when i dried water from organic phase and getting fractions from column this gives me a solution but in the end of recipe said free-base solid how can i get solid from solution fraction with vacuum?

[@tanzhenghao2437]

The product is probably a solid - so after you purify it by flash column, and you evaporate off all of the solvent (the hard vacuum step), you'll get a solid.

[@fernsutiyawan2262]

How much sand do you need for this chromatography column? and can I use water instead of hexane? Thank you

[@chemfunman]

Fern Sutiyawan can't use water!! 0.3cm thick sand

[@mohammedhassan6092]

thank you....... can i know why you put sand??? and why stationary phase always suspend(covered) by mobile phase in Chromatography Columns

[@chemfunman]

Sand will protect the silica layer from being disturbed, so that the solute mixture will move as a uniform band (doing its best to). If there are no sand, during the transfer of eluent into the column (while topping up), the silica may experience a 'dent' and not be levelled.

[@chemfunman]

not to disturb the silica layers. sand is denser, it will provide a firmer support.

[@rapplug139]

Hi friend you are very intelligent ❤️❤️ I am impressed , could u tell me if this method could be used to cbd/thc because I see u use hexane is this dangerous if I extract cbd/thc

[@jonasschweiger8938]

I will use the same method to isolate CBD from a THC/CBD oil. Hexane is used as a solvent in this case. You can use isopropyl alcohol or ethanol for your experiment with CBD, that's common, and it works the same as hexane as a suitable solvent. Mention that isopropyl alcohol is as toxic as hexane. Please make sure to dissolve all solvent by heating it above 80°C. Good Luck!

[@CaptainNorris]

​@@jonasschweiger8938 No you can not simply exchange hexane with isopropyl alcohol, unless you move to reverse phase. Alcohols are very strong eluents, much stronger than esters. I would start with an ether first, but keep in mind, that it is somewhat more polar and an hydrogen bond acceptor, but not a donor, so the selectivity might be off. I think diethyl ether might be convenient. You should never underestimate the toxicity of n-hexane. It is neurotoxic and for some complicated reason much more so than other light alkanes. Modern medical grade petroleum spirit is often explicitly hexane free because of this. Good luck with your projects. And always keep in mind, that natural product separations are often on a different level than simple synthetic workup. This is the real deal for which chromatography was invented and not the harmless stuff encountered in undergraduate organic courses :3 Also one has to keep in mind, that solvents dissolve in your terpenoids (cbd and thc) very well, so they will not be removed by simply heating to their normal boiling point. To get entirely rid of them will need high vaccum and long time periods. Traces are really, really hard to remove even at high temperatures that would harm your products. I am not joking, this is a real problem and most laboratory workers ignore it, because in an organic laboratory, solvent traces do not matter that much. We learned it on an industry course about separation problems some months ago.

[@chemfunman]

Two spoonfuls

[@sandeepsadanandan4360]

Dear sir, you are using a air pump for applying pressure on the column- can you tell me the model and company name of that pump? If you have any link for getting more details for purchasing that pump then please share here if possible. Please tell about column and connector dimensions.

[@sandeepsadanandan4360]

Please give information about the air pump that you have used

[@lexeym]

Ok, for flash purification it is suitable. But for thourogh purification it is unsuitable because of large number of silica cracks in the column (four white bands in the lower part). This happened when you abruptly changed the polarity of the eluent from hexane to hexane:ethyl acetate 1:1

[@chemfunman]

It's my pleasure
