= total ionic concentration in the solution phase, meq./mI. = selectivity coefficient for exchange of ions A and B = ionic concentration in the resin phase, meq./g. (dry) = total ionic capacity of the resin phase, meq./g. = equivalent fraction of an ion in solution phase = equivalent fraction of an ion in solution phase based on only two ions = equivalent fraction of an ion in resin phase = equivalent fraction of an ion in resin phase based on only two ions Su bscripts R = resin phase S = solution phase LITERATURE CITED 1.
