K. Fajans

K. Fajans is known for his work in the field of physical chemistry, particularly on ion exchange and surface chemistry. He studied how ions (charged particles) interact with solid materials like resins and minerals, revealing how these materials can be used to separate or purify substances. His research helped improve techniques in water purification, chemical analysis, and industrial processes by understanding how ions adsorb onto surfaces. Fajans’s work contributed to the development of methods to control and manipulate ions at surfaces, enhancing the efficiency of processes like ion exchange chromatography and contributing to advancements in environmental and analytical chemistry.
