ZLC/Through-flow chromatographic technique
The ZLC methodology (whose name is an abbreviation of the Zero Length Column) is one of the methods for measuring the rate of transport of substances (diffusion) into (or from) porous materials. In addition to determining the so-called diffusion coefficient, it also provides information on the nature of the interaction between the diffusing molecule and the environment in which these molecules are transported.
