A preparative quantitative separation of THFand CHCI3soluble solvent refined coal (Pittsburgh No. 8) has been demonstrated employing gel permeation chromatographic techniques utilizing three column packings: a styrene-dlvlnyl benzene packing (Bio-Beads S-X4), a cross-linked poly(Afacryloylmorphollne) polymer (Enzacryl Gel K-1), and a modified alkylated dextran (Sephadex LH-20). Each packing material Is evaluated based on the extent and time of separation and the cost of materials. The percent recovery In the Bio-Bead case Is greater than 95%. Average molecular weights via vapor phase osmometry on the four sized fractions of THF-soluble SRC from Bio-Beads suggests that a separation according to molecular weight has been achieved. The description of a short tapered glass column to economically carry out these preparative separations Is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
