“…In line with other industrial case studies, 26,30 the transport dispersive model (TDM) 33 was selected to describe the temporal change of the solute bulk concentration c i of solute i in the interstitial column volume where, x represents the axial position within the column, t is the time, D ax denotes the axial dispersion coefficient, k eff , i is the effective mass transfer coefficient, u int is the interstitial velocity, ε represents the void fraction, and c p , i is the concentration of the i th solute in the pore volume. As this model only considers an average concentration in the pore volume, k eff , i accounts for both internal and external mass transfer resistance.…”
