“…The values of k m,L showed a positive concentration dependence, stronger for L-PA than for D-PA. A similar dependence was observed for k m,L in anion exchange chromatography of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Guan- Sajonz et al, 1996;Sajonz et al, 1997) and for the mass transfer rate coefficient (k m ) in the enantiomeric separation of Tröger's base on microcrystalline cellulose triacetate (Seidel-Morgenstern et al, 1993;Rearden et al, 1998). Other publications report a concentration dependence of intraparticle diffusivity (Al-Duri and McKay, 1992), tracer diffusivity (Gibbs et al, 1991), axial dispersion (Lederer et al, 1990), effective diffusivity (Gallagher and Woodward, 1989), mutual diffusion coefficient (Marlowe and Jackson, 1990), and surface diffusion coefficients (Friedrich et al, 1988;Kapoor et al, 1989;Miyabe and Guiochon, 2000a). A concentration dependence of the mass transfer rate coefficients (k m and k m,L ) and the diffusivities seems to be a general conclusion.…”
