Abstract
Under the condition of close separations, the equations for the extent of separation have been calculated for twelve different separation techniques, including elution chromatography, multicontact distribution, multistage distribution, and cataphoresis. A method for comparing all separation techniques on an equivalent basis is proposed. It is suggested that the concept of a theoretical plate in chromatographic systems be abandoned.
