“…[47] demonstrated that the fraction recovery, given by the equation can be independent of the volume flow rate, since a large value of V implies a small 6 value, and a short residence time, t, as well Conversely, lower V values increase 6 and slow down diffusion However, a n increasing residence time, t, can compensate for this effect, thereby welding a constantR This conclusion has not been fully confirmed by experiments wth other sorbents [36,44,45,54,861 Summarizing, it is possible to conclude that, for every system, there is a critical value of the flow rate The increase in flow rate over this value leads to the occurrence of non-equilibrium processes and, hence, to a change in retention properties…”
