The Plotting and Interpretation of Ion-Exchange Isotherms in Zeolite Systems

Abstract

Abstract This paper describes the method whereby ion-exchange isotherms may be plotted and interpreted in the light of modern developments in the literature. It pays particular attention to the problems presented by ion-exchange phenomena in zeolites but should provide a definitive text whereby ion-exchange reactions in other media may be sensibly compared. A detailed example of the application of modern theory to ion-exchange equilibria for a uni-divalent exchange has been given.
