Nonlinear theory of multicomponent sorption dynamics and chromatography

The results of studies on the nonlinear theory of sorption dynamics and chromatography under conditions of interdependent sorption of the components are surveyed and treated systematically. The principal properties of multi-component dynamic sorption systems and of the results arising from the nonlinear character of the mass balance equations are analysed in detail. These nonlinear equations describe the propagation and interaction of the multicomponent concentration waves generated in the sorption column during the chromatographic process for a multicomponent mixture of the substances being sorbed. A series of solutions (including those making allowance for dispersion factors in the sorption process), describing the multicomponent concentration waves during their propagation nonlinear multicomponent dynamic sorption systems, are considered. The bibliography includes 224 references.
