The molecular sieving matrix is swelled prior to packing the column to enhance its porosity and improve the separation efficiency of the packed column. Swelling allows the matrix to expand, creating more uniform pores that facilitate the selective passage of molecules based on size. This pre-treatment also helps to eliminate air pockets and ensures a more consistent packing density, which is crucial for optimal chromatographic performance. Overall, swelling optimizes the interaction between the matrix and the analytes, leading to better resolution in separations.

A process column is a vertical cylinder in which a reaction takes place. The reaction is commonly one of filtering or selection, as measured by ionic charge; or molecular size and so on. Often an ion-exchange resin is used as the process material. A particular type of process column is the fractionating column, beloved of the petrochemical industry. These are tens of metres high, and rely on the fact that as the pressure reduces up the column, the boiling point of the (liquid) will change. Thus the high b.p material comes off lower down, and lower b.p. come off at higher levels.
7.848 '7' is in the UNITS column Decimal point '8' is in the TENTHS column '4' is in the HUNDREDTHS column '8' is in the THOUSANDTHS Column .
true
The tenths column is the first column after the decimal point, so it is 2.
The 5 is in the tenths column.
