“…have been replotted in Figure 5 to test conformance with Fick's diffusion law (4), a general equation which applies to nonstationary mass transfer by diffusion. The derivation of the law and a discussion of conditions requisite for its application to this type of extraction are presented elsewhere (2). The law applies in its simplest form only to constant rate processes•-that is, to the straight-line portion of a plot of logic <?/?o versus t where q/qo is the fraction of extractant (resin) remaining at time, t. Although the diffusion coefficients cannot be calculated from the current data, it is valid to show by comparison of the respective slopes that the diffusion coefficients at the two temperatures bear the following relationship:…”
