“…An increasing number of examples shows that many combinations of solvents and absorbents may be employed for resolution of one kind of solute-for example, mixtures of organic acids may be resolved by absorption in columns of ion exchangers with water or with organic liquids as solvents, a variation that may lead to inversion of the adsorption sequence (107). They may be separated in columns of silica gel with chloroform or iso-octane as solvent (50,103), in columns of Celite plus strong sulfuric acid and with benzene or butanol as solvent (55,94), in columns of charcoal with various solvents (56), in columns of alumina with various solvents (37,69,186), and in paper with water, aqueous phenol, or butanol as solvent (21,79).…”
