What is Adsorption

1.

Removal process in which there is adhesion of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface. This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent. Learn more in: Kinetics of Heavy Metals Adsorption on Gravels Derived From Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland

2.

Accumulation of molecules (adsorbate) from aqueous phase onto a solid material (adsorbent). Learn more in: Preparation and Application of Polymer-Metal Oxide Nanocomposites in Wastewater Treatment: Challenges and Potentialities

4.

This refers to the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface and creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent. Adsorption is a surface-based process while absorption involves the whole volume of the material. Learn more in: Occurrence of Pesticides and Their Removal From Aquatic Medium by Adsorption

6.

Heterogeneous reaction in which gas molecules are retained on a solid surface (adsorbent) that prefers specific compounds to others and thus removes them from effluent streams. Learn more in: Waste Gas End-of-Pipe Treatment Techniques in Italian IPPC Chemical Plants

9.

The process by which molecules of a substance, such as a gas or a liquid, collect on the surface of another substance, such as a solid. The molecules are attracted to the surface but do not enter the solid's minute spaces as in absorption.
