在超临界流体色谱(SFC)中,由于流动相的扩散系数很高,粘度很低,因此可以很容易地进行高速分析。最近,在高效液相色谱法(通常被称为超高效液相色谱仪(UHPLC))中,使用填充有低于2µm颗粒的柱进行高速分析而不牺牲柱效率变得很流行。如果SFC中使用填充有低于2µm颗粒的柱,则可以进行超高效超临界流体色谱(UHPSFC)。然而,在SFC中,人们普遍认为,使用低渗透性柱(如填充有低于2µm颗粒的柱)会导致柱效率差,这是因为整个柱的压降很大,沿着柱的长度产生了负密度梯度。如果实际洗脱条件处于超临界状态并且接近临界点,则这可能是真的。本应用中结论:1.今天的正常SFC条件下,CO2含有相对高浓度的有机改性剂,通常处于液态或亚临界状态。2.与SFC理论的遗留问题相反,这些条件不会降低亚2µm颗粒柱的柱效率,这会产生高的柱压降。3.如今的SFC色谱仪经常在不知道的情况下通过改变温度来改变色谱条件,从液体到超临界再到气相色谱,同时保持高于混合物临界压力的压力。4.对于SFC色谱仪来说,了解流动相混合物的关键参数对于控制洗脱行为是非常重要的。5.在24秒内分离出四种脂溶性维生素。Application Note 2/12Application NoteAn Evaluation of Physico-Chemical Properties of the Mobile Phase in SFC An Evaluation of Physico-Chemical Properties of the Mobile Phase in Supercritical Fluid Chromatography when using Sub-2um Particle Columns In Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC), high speed analysi s can be performed easily because the diffusion coefficient of the m ob i le phase is very high and the viscosity is low. Recently, the use of columns packed with sub -2um partic l es has become popular to perform high speed analysis without sacrific i ng th e column e f ficiency in HPLC, often referred to as Ult r a High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC). I f a column packed with sub-2pm par t icles is used in SFC, Ultra High-Performa n ce Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (UHPSFC)could be perfor m ed. However , in SFC, it is gene r allybe l ieved that the use of a low permeability column such a s those packed with sub-2um pa r ticles results i n poor column e f ficiency d u e to a large pressure drop across the column creat i ng a negative density gradient along the length of the column. This may be true if the actual elution conditions are in a supercritical state and close to the cr i tical point . Keyword: UHPSFC, Sub 2um, UHPLC, HPLC, SFC, Vitamins,Supercritical CO, density, Theoretical Plates, Van Deemter Plot Generally, a mixture of CO2 and an organic modif i er co-solvent, typically an alcohol is used as the mobile phase in SFC. The critical temperature and pressure for such a mixture is generally much higher than that for pure CO2, and the typical mobile phase used in ‘real world 'SFC is o f ten not in a supercritical st a te.Therefore, we have inves t igated the e f fect of several parameters such as temperature and pressure for the commonly used mobile phase mixture of CO2 and methanol and the impact on the H-u curve in UHPSFC. We f irst discuss f rom a theoretical point of view and then evaluate the experimental results by comparing them to the theoretical data. In addition, we evaluated high speed separation of fat -soluble vitamins by UHPSFC. Physical Proper t ies of CO2 and Methanol System and Vapor-liquid equilibria for CO2 and methanol system: I t is important to know the physical proper t ies of the CO2 and methanol mixture system that is used as a mobile phase . Figure 1 shows the experimental vapor -liquid equilibria data of CO2 and me t hanol mixture system at a temperature of 40 ℃ by Kodama e t al. The area enclosed by the measured data points shows the area that the mixture exists as two p hases; vapo r an d l iquid. The outside are a shows the area t hat the mixture exists a s one phase; liq u id or g a s or supercritical fluid. Generall y , in SFC a back pressure of 10MPa or higher is applied to t he column. At these pressures we can safely say that the mixture system is single phase. Figure 1.

Saito and Nitta3 wrote a convenient computer program for the calculation of various mi xtures containing CO2 and organic solvents and compared the results with exper i mental data. The Kij va l ue was determined to be 0.2 according to the value proposed by Brunner 4). The coefficients, A, B, C, D, and E used i n the calculation were obtained from the reference 5);-0.0076,0.287, -1.343,5.443, and -3.038 respectivel y . The authors used the computer program to calculate the critical par a meters. Figure 2 shows a graph of the calculated cr i tica l temperature and pressure against the methanol mole fraction. As shown in this figure, the critical temperature elevates as the methanol mole fraction increases,while the crit i cal pressure exhibits a maximum value at the mole fraction of approximately 0.45. Table 1 lists several volumetric rat i os (90:10, 80:20, 70:30 and 50:50) of CO2 and methanol and corresponding methanol mole f ractions , cr i tical temperatures and pressures for the readers’co n venience.Even with a ratio of CO2 and methanol at 50:50 (considered a modifier rich condition,butoften used i n SFC)the cri t ical pressure is about 16MPa which is not an unusual pressure . However, the cri t ical temperature is 124°℃,which is outside of the normal temperature range used in SFC (a temperature lower than 60℃ is generally used). Under these conditions, t he mixture mobile phase is in the l i quid or subcr i tical state . Table 1.

The a uthors wer e permitted by Dr. Kato to use his computer program to calculate the density of a mixture of CO2 and metha n ol at methanol mole f raction of 0.07. The Kij and lij values have not been measured. T herefore, we assumed these parameters to be zero . Figure 3 shows the relationship between the density and pressure calculated by the above method. As the pressure becomes higher , the density rapid l y increases. T his behavior is more significant when the fluid temperature i s higher . Thi s shows that the mobile phase state is transferred from gas to supe r cr i tical region when the pressure is increased at a higher temperature. In o t her words, t he chromatographer is changing the chromatographic conditions without knowing f r om liqui d to supercrit i cal to gas chromatography by changing the temperature while the pressure is maintained highe r than the mixture c r itical pressure.

Results and D iscuss i on V an De em ter Equa tion The Van Deemter equation is generally used to evaluate the e f ficiency of the column . The equation i s often expressed in a simplified form as equation (1). In SFC, DM is often more than 10 times higher than that for l iqui d solv e nts. Therefore, the Hmin value can be obtained at a higher u valu e , off e ring a h i gher speed of analysis than that in HPLC. However, slow mass transfer, stil l remains within the stat i onary phase which restricts the efficiency and the speed of the analysis . Thus, a smaller particle size a n d thinner stationary phase film thickness is preferable.Figure 6 illustrates the cont r ibution of each term in Equation (1) to H and u. In our exper i ment, the efficiency of a col u mn packed with sub-2pm part i cles was measured. H was calculated f rom the peak of caffeine and u was calculated by using the retention t ime of toluene as tO. Figure 6. The v a n D e e m ter cu r v e s h ow i n g t h e r e la t io n ship o f HE T P(H) vs. Li n ea r velocity Figure 7 shows the measured H-u plots for a 2-mm ID column. Unless otherwise noted, the pressures shown i n al l f igures are column outlet pressures applied by the back-pressure regulator. As shown i n this figure, H increases i n the range of lower l inear velocities only when the temperature and pressure is at 60℃and 10MPa, respectively. Under these conditions, the d e nsity is calcu l ated to be 0.5g/cm3 from the PPHS equat i o n s, and the chroma t ogr a phy behave s like ga s chromatog r aphy or t raditional supercritical f luid chromatography (pure CO2 mobile phase at re l atively hi g h temperatures); H increases at lower u ca u sed by higher longi t udi n al diffusio n of the sample solute in the mobile phase. When t he density i s increased to 0.7g/cm3 or more by elevating the pressure or lowering the temperature,the behavior tends toward s liquid chromatography because the solvating power depends on the density. It should be n oted that dens i ty d e pends not only on th e pressure but also on the tempe r atur e . Figure 8 shows the column pressure drop exhibited in the exper i ment of H-u plots discussed above. As shown i n the f igure, when the temperature is high, the col u mn pressure drop is low because both the v i scos i ty and density are low. T O Figure 7.

Figure 9 shows the H-u plots and Figure 10 shows the graph of t he column pressure drop against the l inear velocity. The H-u plots are similar to those for the 2-mm ID column. H was i ncreased in the range of lower linear veloci ti es only when the temperature and pressure are 60℃ and 10MPa, r espectively. Figur e 10 s hows the graph of the column pressur e drop against the linear velocity under the same conditi o ns as in Figure 9. As shown in this f igure, as t he temperature i ncreases, the column pressure decreases for the same reason discussed above. Compared with the 2-mm ID column, the column pressure drop is lower because of the wider column ID. Figure 9.

As the temperature was increased, the optimum velocity shifts to the higher velocity region, and H itse l f becomes smaller. That is because as the temperature i ncreases, the v i scosity decreases. Under the conditions of 60℃ an d 20MPa, which gave a column pressure drop of ca . 10MPa , th e minimum p late he i ght wa s about 4um, which is very close to the theoretical minimum value , proving th a t the overall chromatographic system is perform i ng extreme l y efficient l y.

The opt i mum velocities were 6mm/sec for bo t h columns. With this veloc i ty t he column pressure drop was ca .10MPa for both columns . However, the 3-mm ID column offers lower H than the 2-mm ID column at both 40 and 60℃temperatures. This resul t shows that the column pressure drop did not affect H. However, smal l er peak volumes generated by the 2-mm ID column could contribute more signi f icantly to extra -column band broadening,resulting in h i gher H. In any case, it is r emarkable that the 3-mm ID co l umn offered the H a s low as 4pm that is very close to the theoretical m inimum value. Figure 12.

Today 's normal SFC conditions with CO2 contai n ing a rel a t i vely high- concentration of organic modifier are often i n the liquid or subcrit i cal state. 2. Contrary to the legacy of SFC theory, these conditions do n o t deteriorate the column efficiency of sub-2pm particle co l umns which give a high column pressure drop. 3. The SFC chromatographer today is often changing the chromatographic condit i ons without knowing from liquid to supercrit i cal to gas chromatography by changing the temperature while the pressure i s kep t higher t han the mixture critical pressure. 4. It is very i m portant for SFC chromatographers to know the critical parameters of a mobile phase mixture in order to control the elution behavior. 5.
