studies by the us salinity laboratory, using gapon rule, led to the value of 0.01475 (mmol l-1)-0.5for the modified gapon selectivity coefficient (k'g). nevertheless, the results of subsequent research reveled that k'g isn’t constant and could take on a wide range of values depending on soil properties. the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between exchangeable sodiu...

The parallel effects of the anion transport inhibitor DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate) on net chloride flow and on chloride exchange suggest that a major portion of net chloride flow takes place through the anion exchange system. The "slippage" model postulates that the rate of net anion flow is determined by the movement of the unloaded anion transport site across the membra...
