The effect of column end structure and bed heterogeneity of six commercially available reversed-phase chromatographic columns for fast liquid chromatography with different column packing materials - such as fully porous (Waters XBridge C with 1.7 μm particles) and superficially porous (Waters CORTECS C with 1.6 μm particles), with column dimension of 2.1 × 50, 100 or 150 mm were tested with flow-reversal method. The method includes arresting the flow when a non-retained marker (thiourea) has penetrated to a given distance into the column and then reversing the column. Hence, when the flow has been restarted, the sample is eluted at the same end of the column where it entered. The experiments showed that all columns are axially heterogeneous, and some differences could be observed between the two respective column ends. Furthermore, we can conclude that the shorter columns are axially more homogeneous than the longer ones, thus the column length is an influencing factor on the column packing procedure.

Emissions of ethyl acetate (EA) exhaust from industrial sources can cause environmental and health risks. EA can be effectively removed by biological filtration with low operating costs and promising good benefits. This study demonstrated the synergistic effect of using magnetite and pebbles as bio-packing in promoting microbial activity and microbial abundance for EA degradation.

Significant progress has been made in the last two decades in producing small (<2μm), high-purity, and low-adsorption particles, columns and system hardware, for ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Simultaneously, the recent rapid expansion of cell and gene therapies for treating diseases necessitates novel analytical technologies for analyzing large (>2 kbp) plasmid double-stranded (ds) DNA (which encodes for the in vitro transcription (IVT) of single-stranded (ss) mRNA therapeutics) and dsRNAs (related to IVT production impurities) biopolymers. In this context, slalom chromatography (SC), a retention mode co-discovered in 1988, is being revitalized using the most advanced column technologies for improved determination of the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of such new therapeutics.

Traditional packed beds in chromatography suffer from increased band broadening due to the random nature of packing, leading non-ideal fluid flow and channeling. To address these challenges, pillar array columns have been developed, offering improved performance over random packing thanks to their homogenous fluid profiles. The study aims to i) evaluate fluid dynamics and chromatographic performance across different PAC morphologies, ii) establish the influence of column morphology on performance, and iii) assess the correlation between chromatographic performance and hydrodynamic parameters.

Packed columns are commonly used in post-combustion processes to capture CO emissions by providing enhanced contact area between a CO-laden gas and CO-absorbing solvent. To study and optimize solvent-based post-combustion carbon capture systems (CCSs), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used to model the liquid-gas countercurrent flow hydrodynamics in these columns and derive key determinants of CO-capture efficiency. However, the large design space of these systems hinders the application of CFD for design optimization due to its high computational cost.

The discharge of chromium(VI) into the environment is becoming a significant global concern. Despite the existence of numerous techniques for chromium(VI) removal, substantial challenges persist in effectively mitigating this issue. Therefore, this study investigates the feasibility of using low-cost basalt rock as an adsorbent for chromium(VI) removal.
