Chromatography Modeling: Craig's Model

This lecture covers the Craig's model in chromatography, which is based on a simple extraction summing up liquid-liquid extractions. The model explains the static nature of the process, the stop-flow method, and the step-by-step approach. It delves into the kinetic model, discussing the Gaussian peak shape and the impact of flow rate on resolution. The lecture also explores the concept of plate theory, the distribution of solutes in the column, and the importance of minimizing dead volumes for optimal separation quality.
