Abstract

A method for the high resolution purification of 1,4-bis-(n-alkylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone dyestuff samples basedon a modified supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) equipment was developed to minimize errors in high-pressuresolubility measurements. Impurities and by-products were eluted in a continuous CO2 flow, the purification processcould be observed by a diode array spectrophotometer. The fact that both static and dynamic solubility experimentsof a selected dyestuff gave consistent results turned out to be a credit point for this new method, which can beuniversally used for other purifications, too. Besides, the necessity of calibrating directly in the solvent gas isdemonstrated, since some organic solvents lead to characteristic spectral effects which can strongly disagree with thosein CO2. Our experiments showed a weakening of these effects towards longer alkyl chains of this substance class. Ina separate section, some remarks are given concerning the use of wavenumbers instead of wavelengths in suchexperiments. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
