Used extensively in chromatography for the separation and purification of complex mixtures in both analytical and preparative scales. It serves as a stationary phase in column chromatography, enabling the separation of compounds based on their polarity, size, or affinity. Widely applied in pharmaceutical research for isolating active ingredients, in environmental testing for analyzing pollutants, and in biochemistry for purifying proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. Its high surface area and porous structure make it effective for adsorbing and separating a wide range of organic and inorganic substances.
