Abstract A mathematical modelling approach for open‐tubular capillary electrochromatography is presented. The spatially one‐dimensional model takes into account (i) a coupling of (non)linear adsorption of positively or negatively charged analyte molecules (at a negatively charged capillary inner surface) with the equilibrium electrokinetics at this solid‐liquid interface, (ii) mobile phase transport by electroosmosis and pressure‐driven flow, as well as (iii) transport of species by electrophoresis and molecular diffusion. Under these conditions the local zeta‐potential and electroosmotic mobility become a function of the concentration of the charged analyte. The resulting inhomogeneity of electroosmotic flow through the capillary produces a compensating pore pressure as requirement for incompressible mobile phase flow ( i.e. , for constant volumetric flow along the capillary). The results of the simulations are discussed in view of the surface‐to‐volume ratio of the capillary lumen, the analyte concentration (in combination with a Langmuir isotherm for the adsorption process), and buffer effects.
