Column chromatography, is a broad term for all column chromatography methods, but is also synonomous with Gravity fed methods.

Flash chromotography refers specifically to a column in which the eluant (or mobile phase) is moved through the column under pressure (using a hand pump for small scale, or a pressurised gas for a larger scale), the name Flash is derived from how much faster it is to run a column under pressure than via gravity.

In liquid chromatography, the separation phase is a liquid and can either be done using column or plane chromatography. Column chromatography refers to the chromatographic bed shape and can be done with either a solid or liquid phase.

What is the difference between vacuum chromatography and flash chromatography?

Flash chromatography uses pressure (under 10 psi) to pump solvent down a column at a rate faster than gravity would provide. Vacuum chromatography uses a vacuum at the bottom of the column to pull solvent through. Both can be performed with standard glass columns, but usually vacuum chromatography is done with a silica filled vacuum funnel instead as a rough purification technique.


How does chromatography work to separate particles?

When a solvent diffuses, it 'drags' whatever is dissolved in it along with it. The further it d\e same, the different dissolved materials sort out as different stripes or peaks and the banding can t\tography


What is the difference between mouth dissolving and fast dissolving tablet?

"Orally disintegrating" and "mouth dissolving" both mean the same and are just flash names given to orally dissolvable tablets by drug companies.


Why do you supply stripping steam in a distillation column when you are heating the crude to a temperature where fractions lighter than residuum go up?

Stripping steam aids in separation in the column by "stripping' lighter components to higher trays in the column. While the crude is heated to a temperature where the pure components would normally go up, in crude oil the lighter components are often entrained in the heavier ones and the separation is not ideal. In actual practice stripping steam rates affect the flash points of the products as well as the concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the products. The stripping steam added to the bottom of the column also affects the amount of overflash in the flash zone.


In what way is the time difference between the arrival of p waves an s waves at the seismograph station like the time difference between a lightening flash and thunder?

The difference in arrival of P and S waves on a seismogram tells seismologists how far away the away the source of the quake is from the recording station. A little more detail! P-waves travel more quickly through the Earth than S-waves. As such the further away the seismometer is from an earthquake epicentre the greater the amount of distance the S-waves lag behind the P-waves. The same is true for lightning. The flash is visible light which is a form of electromagnetic wave and travels so quickly (approx. 300x106 m/s) that you see it (at what may as well be described as) instantly. However sound waves travel much more slowly (approx. 330 m/s in air), roughly a million times slower than light. As such there is a significant lag time between seeing the flash and hearing the resultant clap of thunder.

What is the purpose of an alumina column?

Column chromatography is generally used as a purification technique: it isolates desired compounds from a mixture.Column chromatography is separated into two categories, depending on how the solvent flows down the column. If the solvent is allowed to flow down the column by gravity, or percolation, it is called gravity column chromatography. If the solvent is forced down the column by positive air pressure, it is called flash chromatography, a "state of the art" method currently used in organic chemistry research laboratories The term "flash chromatography" was coined by Professor W. Clark Still because it can be done in a "flash."
