Abstract
“Retrograde” adsorption isotherms have been reported, but seem to violate thermodynamics and would cause concentration steps to migrate against the direction of fluid-phase flow. In general, what appears to be retrograde behavior is caused by one or more additional, uncontrolled variables. This is illustrated with adsorption of sulfonate on a weak-acid ion exchanger, where adsorption is accompanied by partial conversion of the ion exchanger to the sodium form.
