1 is the retardation factor which expresses the 'loss' of solute due to
absorption at or in the solids of the porous matrix, and
Here, R
B
is an autonomous decay
factor, expressing that the solute vanishes according to exp(
t/R ). For a constant

The maximum concentration is found at (

) = (0,0), equal to A /(4
). Because
at the location of the maximum x = v
holds, C max = Av /(4 x
). Inserting C = c exp

leads then to c max = Av e x /v /(4 x

Adsorption and desorption
The amount of adsorbed matter (adsorbate) depends on the concentration
(adsorbens). Several formulas describe this behaviour (Freunlich, Langmuir). The
process is usually temperature dependent. For electrolytes other aspects have to be
accounted for as well. In general one can state that all aromatic matter is strongly
