title: Study of the adsorption behavior of the enantiomers of 1-phenyl-1-propanol on a cellulose-based chiral stationary phase.
abstract: Using single-step frontal analysis, we measured single-component and competitive adsorption isotherm data for the two enantiomers of 1-phenyl-1-propanol (PP). These experimental data were fitted to several competitive bi-Langmuir models (with 8, 6, 5 and 4 parameters) and to the competitive Langmuir model. The latter model accounted well for the behavior of both PP enantiomers on Chiracel OB (cellulose tribenzoate coated on silica gel). The parameters obtained were used in numerical calculations to predict the band profiles of the two single components and of their mixtures under overloaded conditions. The equilibrium-dispersive model provides satisfactory results, with minor differences between the calculated and the experimental profiles. These differences became negligible when a more complex kinetic model was used, with a concentration-dependent rate coefficient.
