“…More specific information about the behavior to be expected from a cation in a column elution experiment is given by the equilibrium distribution coefficient amount of ion on resin X volume _ _of water phase, ml. amount of ion in water phase X gram drv resin (1) as used by Tompkins and Mayer (10), and Schindewolf (8). This coefficient is not a constant like K ( 2), but changes with compositions and concentrations of the reagents in the water phase, the nature of the resin, and the amount of cation to amount of resin ratio in the exchange system.…”
