Acta Chrom. 11, 196-203 (2001). The effects of the stationary and the mobile phases on chromatographic behaviour in the separation of water-insoluble complexes of diethyldithiocarbamate with Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Hg2+, Mn2+, and Pb2+ have been studied by TLC with polar adsorbents (silica gel, previously activated for 40 min at 110 ºC, and neutral aluminum oxide 60 Type E, activated for 4 h at 150 ºC) with benzene - chloroform after chamber saturation for 2,5 h. The proportion of the components of the mobile phase was varied. Visualization by spraying with 5 % aqueous solution of CuSO4 to form a more durable yellow–green chelate (436 nm). The results obtained show that metal ions in the form of their chelates with DDTC can be separated under the presented conditions.

TLC of inorganic phosphates on cellulose with water - ethanol - 2-methyl-1-propanol - 2-propanol - NH3 - trichloroacetic acid 150:175:75:100:2:25; visualization after spraying with 1% ferric chloride in 95% ethanol, acid-molybdate, followed by UV irradiation.

Chinese J. Chromatogr. (Sepu) 23 (5), 555-561 (2005). Use of TLC in combination of spectrophotometry and titrimetry to evaluate chromatographic characteristics of bauxite constituents. Examination of the retention behaviors of four constituents (Al³+, Fe²+, Ti4+, Si4+) on modified silica gel and cellulose with a mobile phase containing aqueous sodium chloride, formic acid and hydrochloric acid. Ternary separation of Al-Fe-Ti was achieved on silica gel H. Study of pH influence, presence of impurity elements in the samples, nature of the stationary phase on the ternary separation, and of detection limits of bauxite constituents; detection of silica in bauxite on cellulose plates. Quantitative determination of Al³+, Fe²+, and Ti4+ on silica gel H impregnated with sodium formate.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 30, 97-105 (2017). Review of current applications of room temperature ionic liquids on planar chromatography as mobile phases. Methylammonium, ethylammonium, propylammonium, isopropylammonium, butylammonium, s-butylammonium, dipropylammonium, tributylammonium were reported to be used as replacements for organic solvents in binary systems. As mobile phase additives, room temperature ionic liquids were used for the separation of peptides and basic drugs in both normal phase and reversed phase chromatography with an emphasis on their role as masking agents. The authors suggested that given the large number of possible cation and anion combinations, systematic methods that characterize solvation properties for both ionic liquids and organic solvents are required.

J. High Resol. Chromatogr. 9, 224-235 (1986). Quantitative HPTLC determination of selenium as 2, 1,3-naphthoselenodiazole on silica with chloroform. After developing to 5 cm the wet plate was dipped 3 times into a solution of Triton X 100 - chloroform 1:4 with evaporation of the solvent in between by storing the plate in the dark for 15 min. at 20°C. Quantification by measuring the fluorescence at 560 nm. Dipping in paraffin oil enhances and stabilizes fluorescence.

Detection by spraying with chlorophosphonazo-mN.
