Abstract
A number of interval sorption experiments have been made and analyzed, assuming Fick's law; diffusion coefficients were derived. These coefficient have been used to predict the behavior in integral sorption; the disagreement between prediction and experiment is discussed. Integral sorption experiments have also been carried out on horse hairs of various diameters to trace the influence of diameter on the sorption rate.Keywords
