Vg. Dovi et al., A GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR THE ESTIMATION OF DIFFUSIVITIES IN SOLIDS, Canadian journal of chemical engineering, 72(6), 1994, pp. 1042-1046
A method for overcoming the difficulty of using realistic interface ad
sorption kinetics in mass sorption experiments for the estimation of d
iffusivities in solids is described in this paper. The method is shown
to possess three important advantages: 1) Complex kinetics are allowe
d for interface adsorption processes 2) Analytical solutions can be ob
tained for arbitrary interface kinetics 3) No additional parameter is
introduced in the estimation problem An important special case is work
ed out in detail.
