“…K Na + /H + This approach requires a careful and thorough characterisation of adsorption. First, the ion exchange properties (SCi and corrected selectivity coefficients) have to be measured in a wide parametric domain of pH, ionic strength, and metal concentration (Jacquier et al, 2004;Motellier et al, 2003;Reinoso-Maset and Ly, 2014;Robin et al, 2015;Stammose et al, 1992), forming a coherent thermodynamic database for adsorption. All the exchange properties are experimentally measurable with adsorption isotherms.…”
