The Contributions of Diffuse Layer Sorption and Surface Complexation... 

Substantial efforts have been made to develop physicochemical models for ion exchange based on the Gouy-Chapman diffuse-layer theory (e.g., 9, 10). This work not only has provided insight into the role of diffuse-layer sorption in the ion-exchange process but also has pointed to the need to consider other factors, especially specific sorption at the surface. Consideration of specific sorption enables description of the different tendencies of ions to... 

Several physicochemical models of ion exchange that link diffuse-layer theory and various models of surface adsorption exist (9, 10, 14, 15). The difficulty in calculating the diffuse-layer sorption in the presence of mixed electrolytes by using analytical methods, and the sometimes over simplified representation of surface sorption have hindered the development and application of these models. The advances in numerical solution techniques and representations of surface chemical reactions embodied in modem surface complexation mod-...
