“…(1), (2) and (8) could provide a proof of concept, that is, under certain values of (a) the initial surface charge density, d 0 , of the particles where the value of d 0 depends on the value of the pH of the solution as has been shown experimentally [48 -51], and (b) the ionic strength, I v , which affects the value of the characteristic thickness of the electric double layer, k, whether a dynamic concentration overshoot could be obtained for the concentration of the single adsorbate in the adsorbed phase. Indeed a concentration overshoot was shown that could be obtained [18,19] for a single adsorbate being adsorbed onto a charged surface under certain values of pH (the value of pH determines the value of the initial surface charge density, d 0 , as discussed above) and ionic strength, I v , as experimental results obtained by CSLM and UVCM had indicated [6 -9, 11, 32 -36, 52] that was possible to occur in IEC systems involving a single adsorbate. Furthermore, it was found [18,19] that this mathematical model, which could predict that a concentration overshoot in the concentration of the single adsorbate in the adsorbed phase could occur under certain values of pH and ionic strength, could also predict that for the same value of pH (that is, the same value of d 0 ) the magnitude of the concentration overshoot decreases as the value of the ionic strength, I v , increases, and the concentration overshoot phenomenon disappears completely above a certain value of the ionic strength, I v , as has also been observed experimentally [6 -9, 11, 32 -36, 52].…”
