“…As suggested by a simple comparison with the physical model, the fitting parameters of the lumped model, namely for the Langmuir kinetics and for the bi‐Langmuir kinetics, are aimed to account for the combination of axial dispersion and actual binding and unbinding reactions. In particular, because axial dispersion is highly dependent on the flow conditions, the values of the kinetic parameters fitted to the data with the lumped model are inevitably velocity dependent (Chung and Wen, ) as extensively reported by several authors that have used this model (Sportsman and Wilson, ; Hao et al ., ; Puerta et al ., ; Bak et al ., ; van Beijeren et al ., ). For the case under consideration, the expressions for the effective lumped kinetic coefficients, and , are reported in Table and are also depicted in Figure , which shows, in all cases, linear dependence with flow rate for both Langmuir and bi‐Langmuir kinetic expressions.…”
