DESCRIPTION& OBJECTIVES

This course is designed to provide an understanding  about the modern seperation techniques. It will provide a useful knowledge of Gas Chromatography.  A detailed survey of HPLC over conventional seperation  techniques would also be discussed. After studying this course, students will be able  to understand the details of all basic aspects of these techniques.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The students will acquire knowledge  about principles, instrumentation and applications of important chromatographic techniques such as GLC, HPLC. After acquiring the technical knowledge of this course, students will be able to apply these chromatographic techniques on practical grounds for qualitative and quantitative analysis of different chemical samples and characterization of various industrial and natural materials. 

COURSE CONTENTS:

Gas–Liquid chromatography, concepts of theoretical plates, Van – deemter equation, High– performance liquid chromatography, instrumentation and applications of these techniques..
