Sv. Natareev et al., MATHEMATICAL-DESCRIPTION OF THE ION-EXCHANGE KINETICS ON FIBROUS ION-EXCHANGERS IN A BOUNDED SOLUTION VOLUME, Theoretical foundations of chemical engineering, 30(3), 1996, pp. 242-245
A problem dealing with sorption of a specific component by a cylindric
al particle with regard to internal- and external-diffusion resistance
s to mass transfer is solved analytically for the case of a bounded so
lution volume. The mathematical model is verified by comparing with ex
perimental data on ion exchange of Ca2+ from the Ca(NO3)(2) solution o
n a fibrous polycaproamide ion exchanger.
