Abstract. A time dependent radial diffusion model is used to quantify the competing effects of inward radial diffusion and losses on the distribution of the outer zone relativistic electrons. The rate of radial diffusion is parameterized by Kp with the loss time as an adjustable parameter. Comparison with HEEF data taken over 500 Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) orbits indicates that 1-MeV electron lifetimes near the peak of the outer zone are less than a day during the storm main phase and few days under less disturbed conditions. These values are comparable to independent estimates of the storm time loss rate due to scattering by EMIC waves and chorus emission, and also provide an acceptable representation of electron decay rates following the storm time injection. Although our radial diffusion model, with data derived lifetimes, is able to simulate many features of the variability of outer zone fluxes and predicts fluxes within one order of magnitude accuracy for most of the storms and L values, it fails to reproduce the magnitude of flux changes and the gradual build up of fluxes observed during the recovery phase of many storms. To address these differences future modeling should include an additional local acceleration source and also attempt to simulate the pronounced loss of electrons during the main phase of certain storms.

Here we address the problem of what we can expect from investigations of sorption kinetics on cryogel beads in batch. Does macroporosity of beads indeed help eliminate diffusion limitations under static sorption conditions? Are sorption rate constants calculated using phenomenological kinetic models helpful for predicting sorption properties under dynamic conditions? Applying the rate constants distribution (RCD) model to kinetic curves of Cu(II) ions sorption on polyethyleneimine (PEI) cryogel and gel beads and fines, we have shown that diffusion limitations in highly swollen beads are very important and result in at least ten-fold underestimation of the sorption rate constants. To account for intraparticle diffusion, we have developed the RCD-diffusion model, which yields “intrinsic” kinetic parameters for the sorbents, even if diffusion limitations were important in kinetic experiments. We have shown that introduction of a new variable—characteristic diffusion time—to the RCD model significantly improved the reliability of sorption kinetic parameters and allowed prediction of the minimal residence time in column required for efficient uptake of the adsorbate under dynamic conditions. The minimal residence time determined from kinetic curves simulated using the RCD-diffusion model was in good agreement with experimental data on breakthrough curves of Cu(II) ion sorption on monolith PEI cryogel at different flow rates.
