Market Definition
The gel made from silica, also known as silica dioxide, is an excellent adsorbent and can hold moisture to a great extent. Silicon Dioxide, also known as silica gel is extensively used in the preservation of medicines and other products in the pharmaceutical industry for its excellent property of acting as a viscosity agent.
Column chromatography is one of the most efficient technique for the separation and purification of components, in which the solid stationary phase and a liquid mobile phase is used. In the process of separation, the column is filled with silica gel, sample compounds are placed on top of the column, and then the mobile phase moves from the solid support under the force of gravity. Depending on the different affinity of molecules to the stationary phase they are isolated and separated into fractions.
Silica gel as a stationary phase is largely accepted as one of the top adsorbents used in column chromatography as well as other separation techniques. One of the major advantages is its tremendous affinity for adsorption. Additionally, it is commercially very readily available in several different sizes and types. The major significant reason for silica gel used as a stationary phase in column chromatography is that it has feasible to obtain the extract essential size of the particle size for a particular method.
Silica gel is a polar adsorbent that is slightly acidic and has a strong capacity to adsorb the basic substance. The silica gel is most widely used in reversed-phase partition chromatography and it has broad applications that consist of the separation of steroids, amino acids, lipids, alkaloids, and several pharmaceutical processes.
The growing pharmaceutical industry has increased the production of drugs which has given a boost to the pharmaceutical grade silica gel market as they are used as colorants, glidants, lubricants, viscosity agents, solvents, preservatives, and many more in the pharmaceutical industry. Within the pharmaceutical industry, silica gel column chromatography helps collect or segregate different components of a drug. This technique is also employed for researching various medicines such as local anesthetics, sedatives, hypnotics, analgesics, and steroids.
Liquid Silica Gel is used as a desiccant to control humidity and avoid spoilage and degradation of medical goods. It does not dissolve so quickly and acts as a good adsorbent agent, making it a most sought product in the pharmaceutical grade silica gel industry.
