Best Answer

Conditions favouring tray columns:

- variable liquid and/or vapour loads

- low liquid rates · large number of stages and/or diameter

- high liquid residence time

- dirty service (plate columns are easier to clean)

- presence of thermal or mechanical stress due to large temperature changes which might lead to cracked packings

- exotherms requiring cooling coils inside column

Open tubular columns provide greater resolution than packed columns in gas chromatography because of their large retention time.


Difference between tray and packed columns?

Packed column consist of porous substance as a packing in the column which provides contact between the fluids used,while different types of trays are used depending on the ease of separation instead of a packing in a usual tray column.

What are the columns used in hplc?

* large columns, specifically for packing. * analytical columns, for quantitative analysis, usually accompanied by a UV-vis detector. * Narrow bore columns, for more sensitive analysis * capillary columns, very this silica columns used almost exclusively with GC mass spectroscopy. * packed bed columns. with silica beads. and may have groups attached, e.g. C18.

Are molecules in liquids packed loosely or tightly?

Usually a liquid, but some solids, like ice, have the molecules more spread apart, making it less dense than the liquid. If, by "loosely packed," you mean being able to slide past each other, then the liquid is always the answer.
