Three-Component Systems Two Adsorbable Species with Inert Carrier

Three-Component Systems (Two Adsorbable Species with Inert Carrier) 

To illustrate the detailed application of equilibrium theory we consider Glueckaufs treatment of a system with two adsorbable components (1 and 2) 

Corresponding to these two roots there are two different propagation velocities given by 

Since (S/j/ac,) is negative while g, is positive and is negative, it follows that, for any specified composition (c,C2), (for which dc jdci is positive) must be larger than w (for which dcjdc is negative).
