Oscillations in concentration and grain size could occur in the process of amino acid sorption on ion-exchanger grains. This phenomenon has been observed in several experimental works. The theoretical explanation of the phenomenon was given earlier by means of an elementary model. In this work the process was studied using a physically more sophisticated model represented by partial differential equations as the result of mathematical simulation. The structure of oscillations inside the grain could not be determined experimentally and also is studied in this work.
