Liquid phase mass transfer in a ternary system [ R -A ] + ( B + €) has been analyzed according to the Nernst-Planck equation. The equilibrium isotherm was represented by the mass action law. In the case of D,, > DB > DE, the resin phase concentration of B ion with time showed a peak. The height of the peak was influenced by the diffusivity ratio, equilibrium constant, and ionic valence. When the modified equilibrium constant K' 2 100 in the case of A ion and K' 2 500 in the case of Band €ions, the exchange rates of the ions could be obtained by approximat-Experimental data on the change of the resin phase concentration y with time are represented. In a [ R -H ' ] + (Na' + Zn") system, the change of yNa with time showed a high peak. In a [ R -H+] + (Na+ + Li') system, the change of yLi with time showed a small peak. No peaks arose in a [ R -Na+] + (H' + Li') system. The data agreed reasonably well with the values calculated according to the theoretical equations.
