Abstract
In modelling the adsorption of ions by charged surfaces, four distinct situations are of potential interest. They are:
-
1)
equilibrium adsorption with the equilibrium concentration of adsorbate specified;
-
2)
equilibrium adsorption with the initial concentration of adsorbate and adsorbant specified;
-
3)
rate of adsorption with the concentration of adsorbate held constant;
-
4)
rate of adsorption with the initial concentration of adsorbate and adsorbant specified.
