WEBVTT 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.240 NICK LOCKYER: Welcome to the second section of the Separation Science unit. 00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.880 During this session, we'll look at factors which effect 00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.240 the efficiency of component separation 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.200 and the theories that allows us to quantify and predict 00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:20.320 the performance of column chromatography. 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.840 We'll explore plate theory and rate theory, 00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:25.680 in terms of the underline and physical and chemical processes, 00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:29.440 and the implications for the practice of column chromatography. 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.160 Later in the course, you'll have the opportunity to test how 00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:34.680 these theories impact on column performance, 00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:37.280 through virtual experiments. 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.120 This week, we have our first tutorial. 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:41.800 So we look forward to interacting with you all then.
