The local equilibrium theory of chromatography is applied to study binary systems subject to the mixed generalized Langmuir isotherm, n i = H i c i /(1 − K 1 c 1 + K 2 c 2) (i = 1, 2), where components 1 and 2 are anti-Langmuir-like and Langmuir-like, respectively. Riemann problems, where a stream o...
