Summary

A general equation for predicting the movement of interacting and non-interacting solutes is proposed. Equations to predict the leaching fractions and mean displacement depth of linearly adsorbed solutes have been derived from the solution of the general equation. A simple equation which considerably reduces the experimental and analytical work has also been derived to evaluate the adsorption coefficient. The predicted adsorption coefficient compares favourably with published data.
