Chromatography Theory 

This reference presents a comprehensive overview of the principles, methods, and fundamental theories used in chromatographic separations—identifying recent advances, mathematical relationships, and useful design techniques for optimal system operation and control of chromatographic variables.
Discussing thermodynamic and dynamic mechanisms and key terminology clearly and concisely, Chromatography Theory explains
• the principles of flow, temperature, and solvent programming
• the mechanisms of retention
• factors that control peak dispersion
• the impact of dispersion control on instrument design and construction
• performance criteria for accurate chromatographic analyses
• efficient applications of column design
• the effect of mass overload on separation processes
• relevant dynamics in thin layer chromatography
Supplemented with more than 300 equations, Chromatography Theory is an authoritative and essential source for chromatographers and mass spectroscopists; analytical chemists; chemical engineers; lab technicians and researchers; environmental and biopharmaceutical chemists, biochemists, and biotechnologists, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
