Fig. 4. Zinc breakthrough, representing Zn concentrations eluted in the centrifuge infiltration tests: (a) breakthrough of Zn as a single component (without competition), (b) breakthrough of Zn when in competition with Cu, and (c) breakthrough of Zn when in competition with Ni. The arrows signify the end of the infiltration of the metal solution, and the beginning of the desorption process.
