German term or phrase: gesäult
Das Rohprodukt wurde mit Hexan/CH 2 Cl 2 = 2 : 1 als Eluens über Kieselgel gesäult. Nach Absaugen und Trocknen erhält man das Produkt als weißes Pulver.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

The raw product was eluted with hexane/Ch2Cl2 (2:1) over a silica gel column.


Explanation:
From my conjecture and chemical experience, given the context, "gesäult" refers to a column used in chromatography. For neat interpretation, I suggest rearranging the terms to make it sound flowing. The raw product "runs through" the silica gel column.

--------------------------------------------------

Hexane/Ch2Cl2 is the mobile phase transporting the raw product; a column packed with silica gel serves as the stationary phase.

Example sentence(s):
  • The first component to elute, (A), will be that solute held
