Comparison between specific surface complexation and Donnan ion-exchange models for describing the adsorption of cations on kraft fibres - literature evidence and EXAFS study of Cu(II) binding
A compilation of the applied experimental conditions when studying metal ion adsorption onto kraft fibres, and the resulting conclusion, revealed that the ionic strength conditions used during the experiments were an important dividing factor. At low ionic strengths, the conclusion has regularly been that the Donnan ion-exchange model could correctly predict the adsorption while, at higher ionic s
