(equation 1)
The wherein Φ difference that is the topochemistry gesture of chemical pollutant in filter core filter bed and chemical pollutant between supply concentration or the chemical potential in using in the environment of filter core concentration; it is the chemical potential of the chemical pollutant of given position in filter bed; the chemical potential of chemical pollutant in supply concentration; be the chemical potential of chemical pollutant at wavefront, or the breakthrough curve of chemical pollutant is anterior when chemical pollutant penetrates filter bed.C 0be defined as the concentration of chemical pollutant in breakthrough curve front portion.C *and C 0 *be defined as with reference to substantially constant or constant supply concentration (C f) dimensionless variable.Chemical potential can as given a definition:
(equation 2)
In one embodiment, breakthrough curve can at random be defined anterior with any cleaning area of effectively eliminating filter bed or the impact in region substantially not having chemical concentrations.In this embodiment, the dimensionless position (ζ) of chemical pollutant and the nondimensional time (τ) that is associated with the ad-hoc location of chemical pollutant in filter bed can as given a definition:
ζ = Z - Z 0 Z ref - Z 0 (equation 3)
τ = t - t 0 t ref - t 0 (equation 4)
Wherein z is the position or location that represent with rice in filter bed; z 0it is the position of the breakthrough curve front portion represented with rice in filter bed; z refwith the reference position that rice represents in filter bed; T is the time shown with stopwatch; t 0show that wherein breakthrough curve front portion is positioned at the position z in filter bed with stopwatch 0the time at place; And t effor the reference time shown with stopwatch.In one embodiment, before penetrated wave, cobra value ζ and time τ is zero and the concentration of chemical pollutant before penetrated wave (C) is C as mentioned above 0.In this embodiment, in reference point, position (ζ) and time (τ) are 1 and concentration (C) is reference concentration (C ref).When the time (τ) increases also close to unlimited (∞), concentration (C) equals reference concentration (C ref).

When the ripple of chemical pollutant goes out from the filter bed development filter core, the position of ripple can be accelerated in time.The speed that ripple develops from filter bed can change according to following relative time:
υ * = τ ( ζ - 1 ) (equation 6)
Wherein υ *for speed and it is the acceleration factor being called as " cobra value ".Because for many chemical pollutants, concentration of emission distribution 204 is glasses serpentine (shown in Fig. 2), therefore cobra value is called as.In one embodiment, with substantially constant or geard-down speed (υ *) ripple of chemical pollutant that develops from filter bed has the cobra value being less than 1 and with accelerating velocity (υ *) the chemical contamination object wave that develops from filter bed has the cobra value being greater than 1 one or more cobra value can be empirically determined from data or user's input such as, cobra value list can be determined by experimental data and be stored in computer-readable storage medium 110,112 one or more in be accessed by processor module 102.

t s = t 0 + ∫ t 0 ∞ ( 1 - C * ) dt = t 0 + ∫ t 0 ∞ ( 1 - C 0 * ( Φ ref ( τ ζ ) ) ) dt (equation 9)
In one embodiment, at random definition is used for the reference point of equation 7.Such as, for the arbitrfary point 1 in the concentration of emission distribution being similar to concentration of emission distribution 204, equation 8 becomes:
ln Φ 1 = τ 1 ζ ln Φ ref (equation 10)
Application equation 8, reference point can represent as follows:
ln Φ = τ ζ τ 1 ζ ln Φ 1 = ( t - t 0 t 1 - t 0 ) ζ ln Φ 1 = τ ′ ζ ln Φ ref ′ (equation 11)
Wherein subscript ' expression is used for the new reference point of Ding model.Correspondingly, reference point that can be different for different application choices, and without the need to changing one or more parameter value in Ding pattern.

t s = qρ b V FC f ≡ t r Λ (equation 12)
Wherein q represents the load of chemical pollutant in filter bed, or with the adsorption equilibrium that mol per kilogram represents; ρ brepresent the density of filtering particle in filter bed, represent with kilogram every cubic metre; V represents the volume of filter bed, represents with cubic meter; F represents the flow velocity of (one or more) chemical pollutant by filter bed, represents with cubic meters per second; t rrepresent time of break-through 206, or the time of staying; And A represents at feed consistency C fthe separation rate that place calculates.The value calculating adsorption equilibrium (q) can be inputted from experimental data, simulation isotherm model or user.From equation 12, separation rate (A) and time of break-through 206 (t f) following equation can be used to determine:
Λ = qρ b C f (equation 13)
t r = V F
(equation 14)
