SEPARATION USING A THERMOMETRIC DETECTOR 299<br />

Fig.12.2. Isotachopherogram of the separation of some anions in the operational system listed in<br />

Table 12.1 (pH 6). 1 = Chloride; 2 = sulphate; 3 = chlorate;4 = chromate; 5 = malonate; 6 = pyrazole-<br />

3,5-dicarboxylate; 7 = adipate; 8 = acetate; 9 = p-chloropropionate; 10 = phenylacetate; 11 = ascorbate.<br />

The current was stabilized at 70 PA. T= Increasing temperature; t = time. This isotachopherogram<br />

is used in several places in this book for comparison of the various detectors and the various solvents.<br />

The smaller steps in the system imidazole/imidazole hydrochloride correlate correctly<br />

with the calculated zone resistances (see section 4.5). Some step heights are low, which<br />

can be ascribed to a dissociation that is more complete in this system. Some compounds<br />

that show these very large shifts are citric acid (pK3 = 6.4), orthophosphoric acid<br />

(pK, = 7.21) and chromic acid (pKz = 6.49).<br />

Fig.12.3 shows aa isotachopherogram of the separation of some anions carried out in<br />

the operational system listed in Table 12.2. Although the resolution is lower than in the<br />

operational system at pH 6, in general anions can be separated if the step heights given<br />

in Table 12.3 differ by about 10%. The disadvantage of this operational system is the<br />

relatively high pH, which soon gives a disturbance due to carbonate.
