Determination of electrophoretic mobility of alkaline cations in micellar systems
Müllerová, Ludmila ; Gaš, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Kašička, Václav (referee)
Micellar electrokinetic chromatography is a widely used analytical separation technique. To achieve separation, it uses interaction of analytes with charged micelles present in the background electrolyte (BGE). Not only the mobilities of analytes but also mobilities of small inorganic ions, usually contained in the BGE, are influenced by the presence of micelles. Description of interactions between inorganic ions and micelles is needed for better understanding electrophoretic separations in BGEs containing micelles. Determination of physico-chemical constants (interaction constants, mobilities of complexes) by capillary electrophoresis is based on accurate determination of effective mobilities. For this reason, accurate determination of mobility of electroosmotic flow (EOF) is also necessary but complicated in BGEs containing charged micelles, because the neutral EOF marker can be mobilized by interaction with the micelles. In this work a new two-detector method for determination of effective mobility in interacting BGEs was proposed. In this method the analyte is placed in the BGE containing charged micelles, while the marker zone is in the BGE without micelles and so the possible interaction is avoided. Using this method, dependence of sodium cation mobility on concentration of lithium...

Influence of the interacting constituent of the background electrolyte on electrophoretic separation
Müllerová, Ludmila ; Dubský, Pavel (advisor) ; Kašička, Václav (referee) ; Petr, Jan (referee)
Capillary electrophoresis is a widely used separation method of analytical chemistry. Addition of a selector into the background electrolyte extends its applicability to separation of enantiomers or of compounds of similar physicochemical properties. In analytical practice, mixtures of selectors are also commonly used - either prepared intentionally to achieve better separation or because commercially available selectors may be mixtures of compounds differing in the degree of substitution and substituent positions. Mathematical description of these systems, which are highly relevant in analytical practice, can simplify search for optimal separation conditions. Also, it provides a useful insight into the separation mechanism. In this work, a model of electromigration of an analyte interacting with a mixture of two selectors is proposed and experimentally verified. This model results from a more general description of systems with an arbitrary number of selectors. The model shows that a selector mixture can be treated as a single selector if the ratio of the respective selector concentrations is kept constant. When the mixture is prepared intentionally, this description predicts, how separation potential of the mixture changes with its composition. Thus it allows the optimal composition and total...
