“…A number of experimental and theoretical studies have been reported on the sorption of various acids on weak base resins (Kunin, 1958;Hel!erich, 1962;Adams, Jones & Miller, 1969;Holl and Sontheimer, 1977;Hubner and Kadlec, 1978;Rao and Gupta, 1982a,b;Hel!erich and Hwang, 1985;Bhandari, 1998;Garcia and King, 1989;Bhandari, Juvekar & Patwardhan, 1992a,b, 1993Bhandari, Sawarkar & Juvekar, 1996, Yoshida, Kishimato & Kataoka, 1994Cloete and Marais, 1996;Takatsuji and Yoshida, 1994, 1998aJuang and Chou, 1996;Husson and King, 1999a,b). In many instances, acid sorption was considered irreversible and the sorption equilibrium was interpreted in terms of simple Langmuir-or Freundlich-type isotherm.…”
