Great Professor Dave. after watching your videos I feel able to run column chromatography to separate compounds

[@muzeyyenbuyuksamanc6885]

Thanx for the video, I've a question the compound that we obtained first , blue one 07:55 , is more non-polar, isn't it?

Thank you so much Professor Dave for such an amazing exploration ❤ ❤😊

Thanks for the explanation, what sand are being used at the top? what is its function? any alternatives of sand? or can it be omitted?

wow amazing explanation bro thanks

[@nabilanuragusti3145]

Thank you very much, Prof..

[@sultan.s3iii601]

why we should dissolve the mixture in the smallest amount of solvent? Like what happens if we add more - Thanks

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

good question! so we need the sample very concentrated in a thin band so that it can separate in a distinct way. if it is dilute, then all the molecules would have different starting places as they load on to the column and you'll get very wide bands and insufficient separation.

[@user-hw7fq9uo3m]

Thanks

[@akiharu1999]

Is it okay to use any type of sand? Or is it okay not to use sand at all? Thank you!

I don't find it complicated at all, but it's definitely a really clever way to the separation problem. I like it ❤

Thanks sir

[@alEEshaKhan7294]

Sir let me know that can we use tolune and ethanol in column .. pls tell how much sand is good in grams etc..

[@Ambient_Scenes]

Sorry to keep asking you questions Dave. I'm really hoping to understand this though. Assuming you happen to have a gas chromatogram or HPLC chromatogram of your sample (in some solvent), can you somehow use the information in those chromatograms to bypass the thin layer chromatography step? And would you then use the same solvent you used for the gas chromatography for the column chromatography?

[@alEEshaKhan7294]

Sir I HV a question pls I will do this technique and I wanna ask how much would be the size of cotton swab use and for column which type of burrete is suitable???

[@137bob3d]

a very well done intro presentation. if you would , please ... a few questions ... the matter of mesh size of silica gel in the column ... for a gravity driven elution is the mesh of the TLC strip too fine to copy ? by 'too' fine' i mean would the flow be so slow to not finish in a lab session ? ... and the fractions ... given the stopcock ... is it ok to stop the flow after each one and spot it on a 254-tlc plate... let it dry ... then shine uV on it to see if anything is there ? and if nothing shows up could this volume of eluent be poured back onto the column top ? i'm hopeful to find follow up vid's on this topic. to learn , for instance, how one chooses mesh size of silica and the gradient solvents , plus column size and the amount of silica vs. sample size.

[@alEEshaKhan7294]

Sir pls tell on top sand which solvent should be added by pippte is it the solvent in which our sample is soluble????

[@hubertseidl93]

Well, if I would have it done that way, they would have fired me. First, buy a real column, not just a fat pipe. That helps keeping the gel clean (you don't want to have sand interfering with you product, or even mixing with the gel, when you unpack your column). Second, packing your column: at the bottom should be some sort of fabric that doesn't allow the gel to go through. mix your gel with a saline or polar solution to generate the slurry. usually the gel manufacturer will tell you how to pack the column. Fill in your gel, then add the upper stamp (with fabric), make sure there are no air bubbles, and start pressing with a constant flow rate (from a pump) to pack the column. Third: lower the stamp to the border where the gel has settled, still in constant flow. Congratulations, the column is packed. Forth: Check the packing of your column by letting a small amout of UV-absorbing molecules through the column. You neither want to have fronting or tailing (different shapes of the peak), nor a broad peak that indicates that your column is doing a poor job at seperating. fifth: Do the chromatography with a constant flow, some pressure and maybe even a pressure restrictor at the end of the column. And you need some sort of identification of your product, or at least a way to measure that you get different products. UV-light is very helpful, pH and conductivity are helpful aswell. you also mentioned, that the Gel should not run dry: good advice, it usually lowers the quality of your packing. Some gels can be recovered by reverse flow, push the air out of the column. others, especially size exclusion gels are essentially done. go back and repack the column. and there are some gels that will not tolerate air at all, meaning, that you have to throw it away, etc. A friend of mine once told me, that he had a gel worth 2 million € in his column (I don't know what it was made of, but it was experimental), and he was very cautious not to make any mistakes, because that stuff was super expensive and if it happened to be destroyed, the manufacturer of that stuff actually needed to set up a new batch in production.

What's solvent use to dissolve sample? Can I use the mobile phase, hexane Ethyl acetate?

[@santhianpalagan9616]

Bro why we are adding the upper layer of sand to fill the holes of silica gel or to fulfill the coloumn

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

it's just nice to have something to separate the stationary phase from the mobile phase, but to be honest i've run columns without the top layer of sand

[@santhianpalagan9616]

[@santhianpalagan9616]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains sir im sorry to ask that again is there any holes in the silica gel. Òŕ we are adding the sand just to fill the coloumn what is the actual usage of the sand And im 15 years sir so i dont know more scientific terms because im tamil please explain me simply

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

no, the gel must be packed well, no holes or cracks.

Professor..I work for chemical reasearch industry...my question is I m working on my project which is I have to seperate two isomers spots in TLC are very close, now the problem is if I pack a coloumn of 250 gram (crude) after completion of columns I only get 100 gram pure,most of the fraction shows dual spot...that's why my yield is decreased that's why please resolve my problem,, reply me sir please

[@El-wv1tf]

hopefully you have resolved the problem, since it was a year since the question :) I would tweak mobile phase to get those zones further away from each other

[@PakChemist]

You look great

[@137bob3d]

great presentation. you enunciate so emphatically and clearly, good going. this vid's been added to my favorites one thing i'll remember is that the loaded sample has to be within the silica phase. and not any above its top edge ... in the above sand layer. on the topic of the sample transparent and the desired product being clear too. does it happen that chemists add color dyes with an Rf that brackets the produce as an aid in locating it when it exits the column ? lastly is it ok to close the column for 10 minutes to TLC the fraction ? or does the eluent flow have to be non-stop ?

[@HapinessAyo]

Why does column chromatography seems so hard to me 😢

[@doomedfleur12974]

The eluent is opposite to the stationary phase?
