重力场流分离作为最简单的一种场流分离技术,常用于分离微米级颗粒.选择两种不同粒径( 20 μm 和 6μm)的聚苯乙烯( PS)颗粒作为样品,通过改变载液中叠氮化钠浓度、混合表面活性剂的比例及载液流速,利用自行设计生产的重力场流分离( gravitational flow field-flow fractionation,GrFFF)仪器,对颗粒混合样品进行分离,得到了相关谱图与数据,考察了这3种因素对分离效果(保留比( R)、塔板高度( H))的影响.结果表明:20 μm PS颗粒的 R值均大于6 μm PS颗粒的 R值,H 值均小于6 μm颗粒的 H 值;PS颗粒的 R值与 H 值均随着载液中叠氮化钠浓度的增加而增加;但随着载液流速的增加,R值增加,H 值减小.该研究为 GrFFF系统的开发及应用提供了重要的参考价值.
Gravitational field-flow fractionation is the simplest field-flow fractionation technique in terms of principle and operation. The earth's gravity is its external field. Different sized par-ticles are injected into a thin channel and carried by carrier fluid. The different velocities of the carrier liquid in different places results in a size-based separation. A gravitational field-flow frac-tionation(GrFFF)instrument was designed and constructed. Two kinds of polystyrene(PS) particles with different sizes(20 μm and 6 μm)were chosen as model particles. In this work, the separation of the sample was achieved by changing the concentration of NaN 3,the percent-age of mixed surfactant in the carrier liquid and the flow rate of carrier liquid. Six levels were set for each factor. The effects of these three factors on the retention ratio( R)and plate height ( H)of the PS particles were investigated. It was found that R increased and H decreased with increasing particle size. On the other hand,the R and H increased with increasing flow rate. The R and H also increased with increasing NaN 3 concentration. The reason was that the elec-trostatic repulsive force between the particles and the glass channel wall increased. The force allowed the samples approach closer to the channel wall. The results showed that the resolution and retention time can be improved by adjusting the experimental conditions. These results can provide important values to the further applications of GrFFF technique.
