N. Brajenovic et al., Chromatographic mobility of metals on paper impregnated with model compounds related to lignin structure and on wood slices, ANALYT CHIM, 406(2), 2000, pp. 279-281
The mobility of some metals in woody plants was investigated by using a mod
el system simulating natural conditions. The system comprises chromatograph
y of metals on paper impregnated with compounds otherwise incorporated into
lignified cell walls, and on slices of different woods. The metals were su
bjected to ascending chromatography using water as the developing solvent.
The results indicated that the interference of the compounds tested is refl
ected by chromatographic acceleration or retardation of metals. (C) 2000 El
