abstract

  • The behavior of monovalent ion-exchange isotherms has been mathematically described by a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind (IFK). A numerical technique of regularization applied to deconvolute the IFK yielded the selectivity coefficient distributions from the ion-exchange isotherms. Regularization has successfully recovered normal and log-normal unimodal and bimodal distributions from computer-generated isotherms. This method has also been used to deconvolute ion-exchange isotherms obtained from the literature. © 1987 American Chemical Society.
