A numerical method was developed to solve the problem of the cation adsorption operation involving a general nonlinear exchange function. The method was applied to solve the cation adsorption operation involving five different types of exchange functions. The study showed that the adsorption of a cation depends on the equilibrium behavior of the counterions, which is defined by the exchange function. The separation factor α BA was used as an index of the adsorption operation.
