On the other hand, the column chromatography is used to purify a mixture of compounds by isolating a compound of interest by passing it through column where it gets separated based in preferential adsorption and pure compounds are eluted out. This is used for preparative purposes.
In TLC separation occurs by running the mobile phase against gravity whereby the mobile phase is drawn up using capillary action. Here the different analytes ascend through the stationary phase at different rates based on their properties.
In the case of column chromatography, the mobile phase is allowed to run down through the packed column of stationary phase under gravity. Here the different analytes descend through the stationary phase at different rates based on their properties.
The time required for separation is far less in TLC when compared to that of column chromatography and the latter needs more amount of solvent.
In TLC a thin layer of stationary phase is spread along a plate while in column chromatography the stationary phase is packed along a long glass column.

What is the main purpose of running a column chromatography? Similar to TLC. column chromatography is based on analytes being partitioned between a stationary phase (not moving) and a mobile phase (moving). What is most commonly used as stationary phase in a column? Is this material polar or non-polar? In this experiment, you will use different solvents to run column chromatography separation of different pigments extracted from spinach leaves. These solvents are a mixture of acetone and hexanes. (a) What...
These questions are from an experiment where we had a mixture of Ferrocene, acetylferrocene and diacetyl ferrocene and we separated each by using column chromatography. Before doing the column chromatography we did TLC analysis to ensure that we did, in fact, have a mixture of these 3 compounds. During the column chromatography we first eluted the ferrocene using pure hexane. Then we eluted the acetylferrocene using a 1:1 mixture of hexane and methylene chloride. Then we eluted the diacetylferrocene using...

2. An unknown compound was analyzed using thin layer chromatography, its constituted of two components (A and B) as shown in the TLC (Silica coated stationary phase; Chloroform and Ethyl acetate as mobile phase). The mixture was then loaded onto column with silica as the stationary phase and the same solvent system was used.

Case C Thin Layer Chromatography 1. TOXI-LAB is a screening method that uses: chromatography (column / planar) The first step consists of the extraction of drug metabolites from biological fluids when we place the sample in a test tube containing a mixture of solvents and buffering salts that cause the extraction of basic and neutral drugs. The solvent extract of the sample is concentrated by heat and evaporation, then is deposited onto a small disc of chromatographic media (small circle...
