Answer» Depending on the nature of the stationary phase i.e., whether it is a solid or a liquid, chromatography is classified into adsorption chromatography and partition chromatography. i. Adsorption chromatography : This technique is based on the principle of differential adsorption. Different solutes are adsorbed on an adsorbent to different extent. Adsorption chromatography is further classified into two types : 1. Column chromatography 2. Thin-layer chromatography ii. Partition chromatography : This technique is based on continuous differential partitioning of components of a mixture between stationary and mobile phases. For example, Paper chromatography. |
