Adsorption
Removal of a pollutant from air or water by collecting the pollutant on the surface of a solid material; e.g., an advanced method of treating waste in which activated carbon removes organic matter from waste-water.

ADSORPTION
Adhesion of the molecules of a gas, liquid or dissolved substance to a surface. Adsorption differs from absorption in that adsorption is the assimilation or incorporation of a gas, liquid, or dissolved substance into another substance.

adsorption
"An increase of the concentration of a solute in the vicinity of a solid surface, over that in the bulk of the solution, due to the attractive interaction between the solid immersed into the solution and the solute. Adsorption on a solid from a gaseous phase also occurs. It is a surface process, not to be confused with absorption. Opposite: desorption. "

ADSORPTION
The adhesion of the molecules of gases, dissolved substances, or liquids in more or less concentrated form, to the surface of solids or liquids with which they are in contact. Commercial adsorbent materials have enormous internal surfaces.

Compare with absorption and sorption .Adsorption is condensation of a substance on the surface of a solid or a liquid. For example, gases that make water taste bad are strongly adsorbed on charcoal granules in water filters.

Adsorption
The process of interaction between the solute and the surface of an adsorbent. The forces involved can be strong (for example, hydrogen bonds) or weak (van der Waals forces). For silica gel, the silanol group is the driving force for adsorption, and any solute functional group that can interact with this group can be retained by liquid-solid chromatography on silica.

Adsorption
Adsorption is a process that occurs when a gas or liquid solute accumulates on the surface of a solid or, more rarely, a liquid (adsorbent), forming a molecular or atomic film (the adsorbate). It is different from absorption, in which a substance diffuses into a liquid or solid to form a solution. The term sorption encompasses both processes, while desorption is the reverse process.
