Abstract
Polyhydric alcohols have previously been separated by tedious chemical procedures and in microgram quantities on columns prepared from silica gel and silica gel - Celite combinations. This study was undertaken to determine whether separation of these alcohols was possible by chromatography on columns of Celite alone, and in quantities considerably greater than those formerly handled. In addition, as a preliminary step to the actual separation, the capacities of the columns for the two polyhydric alcohols were determined. The effect of several variables on the capacities of the columns were investigated. A calculation of the number of theoretical plates in a chromatographic column was made.
