Displacement effects in large‐scale (total column volume v t = 150 L) and preparative ion‐exchange chromatography purifying human erythrocyte superoxide dismutase are described in the present article. The biomolecules are eluted in a very small peak elution volume (<0.2 v o ) behind the salt wave using a step gradient. The theoretical peak width and retention behavior are calculated according to the model of Yamamoto. The theoretical values are then compared with the experimental data. There was a difference observed between the elution type I (also called fronting) and the experimentally obtained elution. Some instructions are given on how to achieve these phenomenona because a beneficial effect in respect to resolution and recovery of a biomolecule is observed.
