Abstract

Baby powder based talc (BP) is modified by keeping in 0.3 M HCl solution at room temperature for 24 hours. The product, acid modified baby powder based talc, is called "modified-BPT". Modified-BPT is investigated for their usefulness in the stationary phase of Thin-Liquid Chromatography (TLC). The separability of the components of a commercial ink has been tested on modified-BPT layers successfully. These results may be also said for the adaptability or validity on column chromatography.
