description

Experimental proof of the model was carried out for the separation of benzoic acid on a LiChrospher RP-18 column. The observed chromatographic peak profile coincides with the peak profile predicted by the model. The retention times of the dissociated and non-dissociated species determined by using an appropriate fitting procedure were 2.2 and 4.3 min, respectively. Based on these values, a theoretical peak profile was calculated, demonstrating a close agreement with the experimentally observed peak profile. An unexpectedly large difference was found for the retention times of the dissociated and non-dissociated species calculated by a fitting procedure and those experimentally measured on the elution of benzoic acid with buffered eluents. A possible explanation for this difference is a contribution of the ion-exchange adsorption on the silica matrix.
