  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006101",
  "term": "Ion-exchange isotherm",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A graphical representation showing the equilibrium distribution of an ion between a stationary ion-exchange phase and a mobile solution phase at a constant temperature. It plots the concentration of the ion in the stationary phase against its concentration in the mobile phase. This isotherm provides insights into the selectivity and capacity of an ion exchanger.",
