STRUCTURAL MODELING OF CHROMATOGRAPHIC PROCESSES I - METHODOLOGICAL BACKGROUND AND AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Direct mapping of the conservation processes onto executable structure based computer programs has been applied for the dynamic simulation o f various chromatographic processes. The method eliminates the many-fo ld transformation of the conventional modelling from the cognitive mod el through the mathematical construct and via the numerical algorithm to the computer program. The introduction of the new approach induced also the systematic revision of the measurement technique and those of the applied phenomenological formulae. In the first paper of the seri es the methodological background of the new tool will be described and illustrated bit a simple example.
