    Solution

    Paper chromatography is used to remove or separate leaf pigments of any green plants. With the proper mobile and stationary phase, the pigments such as chlorophyll, xanthophyll, etc. can be converged. The remaining methods cannot separate the leaf pigment from the plants as it will only destroy its pigments.
