In chromatographic analysis experiments, it is used to separate and identify different components in a mixture. For example, in the experiment of separating plant pigments, an extract containing multiple pigments is spotted on the chromatography paper. Through the differences in the adsorption and distribution of different pigments by the chromatography paper, the pigments are spread on the paper, achieving separation.
CHARACTERISTICS
It has a uniform pore size and good capillary action, enabling the solvent to diffuse evenly on the paper. Additionally, it has different adsorption capacities for different substances, thus effectively separating the mixture
