Effective separation of organic dyes using ionic liquids as green mobile phase and polyaniline-modified silica gel nanocomposite-based thin-layer chromatography

Organic dyes are used for a wide variety of purposes including their applications in textiles, foods, printing cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Thus, these are industrially very important and their analysis is always required before putting to particular use. To develop the extremely efficient thin layer chromatographic system for the resolution of co-existing dyes, the silica gel was modified with the conducting polymer polyaniline. Silica gel...
