Abstract
A theoretical model for adsorption of a single charged adsorbate that accou nts for the presence of an electrical double layer in the pores of adsorben t particles is constructed and solved. The dynamic behavior of the mechanis ms of the model can result in the development of inner radial humps (concen tration rings) in the concentration of a single charged analyte (adsorbate) in the adsorbed phase of porous adsorbent particles. The results of the pr esent work demonstrate the implication of the concept regarding the effect of the presence of an electrical double layer in the pores of adsorbent par ticles and the induced interactions between the electrostatic potential dis tribution and the mechanisms of mass transport of the species by diffusion, electrophoretic migration, and adsorption. Furthermore, the mechanisms of the model could explain qualitatively the development of the concentration ring (hump) observed in confocal scanning laser microscopy experiments.
