The transport of salt, necessarily coupled with the transport of water, through porous building materials may heavily limit their durability due to possible deterioration and structural damage. Usually, the binding of salt to the pore walls is assumed to occur instantly, as soon as the salt is transported by water to a given position. We consider the advection-diffusion model of the transport and generalize it to include possible delays in the binding. Applying the Boltzmann-Matano method, we calculate the diffusion coefficient of the salt in dependence on the salt concentration and show that it increases with the rate of binding. We apply our results to an example of the chloride transport in a lime plaster.

The distribution of the total time of persistence of a particle in a state A was derived both in an exact and an approximate form on the basis of a probability model of the conversion A ##e B. The result was applied to the probability description of a change in size of one-dimensional crystals in a double crystallizer. The time change of the distribution of the crystal sizes can be described by the Fokker-Planck equation for diffusion with a diffusion coefficient proportional to the square of the sum of values of the growth and dissolution rate constants.

Some problems are analyzed arising when a numerical simulation of a random motion of a large ensemble of diffusing particles is used to approximate the solution of a one-dimensional diffusion equation. The particle motion is described by means of a stochastic differential equation. The problems emerging especially when the diffusion coefficient is a function of spatial coordinate are discussed. The possibility of simulation of various kinds of stochastic integral is demonstrated. It is shown that the application of standard numerical procedures commonly adopted for ordinary differential equations may lead to erroneous results when used for solution of stochastic differential equations. General conclusions are verified by numerical solution of three stochastic differential equations with different forms of the diffusion coefficient.

In the case of stationary countercurrent electrolysis the one dimensional space dependence of the different concentrations is governed by a system of nonlinear first order differential equations. Here one takes into account the dependence of the electric field on the concentrations. One considers a mixture of completely dissociating salts with a common anion solved in an aqueous solution of the completely dissociating acid with the same anion. The equations are solved rigorously both in the homogeneous and the inhomogeneous case. One gets the concentrations and the space coordinate explicitly as a function of a parameter w, which is the electric potential divided by the diffusion coefficient. For infinitely long tubes the Kohlrausch-condition remains valid also in regions, where the profiles of the concentrations are influenced by diffusional transport. The results are applied to a process investigated by other authors
