Van Deemter Equation - Expanded Van Deemter

Expanded Van Deemter

The Van Deemter equation can be further expanded to:

Where:

  • H is plate height
  • λ is particle shape (with regard to the packing)
  • dp is particle diameter
  • G, ω, and R are constants
  • Dm is the diffusion coefficient of the mobile phase
  • dc is the capillary diameter
  • df is the film thickness
  • Ds is the diffusion coefficient of the stationary phase.

Van Deemter's equation indicates that band broadening mechanisms are proportionally dependent on flow rate, inversely proportional to flow rate and independent of flow rate.

    Pray for the Liberty of the Conscience to revive among us.... Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprize, every expanded prospect.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    No construction stiff working overtime takes more stress and straining than we did just to stay high.
