Sorption

An introduction to sorption in compacted bentonite

  • Sorption, part I (on mobility of exchangeable cations)
  • Sorption, part II (on the problem with a bulk water phase)
  • Sorption, part III (Donnan equilibrium and ion exchange)
  • Sorption, part IV (what is \(K_d\)?)
  • Sorption, part V (a case against Stern layers on basal surfaces)
