Chromatography is a method of chemical analysis based upon the selective absorption and partial fractionation of various substances by certain suitable materials. The method is simple and requires a minimum of special equipment. The technique consists of pouring a solution through a column containing a suitable adsorbing material. A selective developing agent is then passed through the column and the different substances in the solution are spread down the column into layers visibly separated from one another, provided the substances are colored. In the case of colorless substances, the layers of the different substances may be located by the use of ultra-violet light or by chemical tests.

This method was first described by the Russian botanist Tswett, in 1906. Tswett was engaged in the extraction and purifictaion of plant pigments.

Methods of chromatography have been applied to the separation of the rare earths and a number of procedures, based on chromatography techniques, have been developed for the separation of the inorganic cations and anions.
