  1. Adsorption
    Adhesion of a species onto the surfaces of particles
    Found op http://home.nas.net/~dbc/cic_hamilton/dictionary/a.html

  2. Adsorption
    Not to be confused with absorption, adsorption is the build up of a molecule at a surface (such as an oil/water interface). Adsorption generally occurs because different parts of a molecule have an affinity for the two different phase on either side of the interface.

  3. 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.

  4. Adsorption
    The chemical and/or physical attraction of one substance at the surface of another. Refers to gases, dissolved substances or liquids on the surface of solids or liquids. eg. the tendancy of clay and high organic soils to absorb pesticides.

  9. Adsorption
    If any compound, solid, liquid or gas, is loosely held by weak attraction to the surface of a solid it is said to have undergone adsorption. This process is much weaker and less permanent than absorption.

  10. adsorption
    adsorb; adsorbed. Compare with absorption and sorption. Adsorption is collection 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.

  11. adsorption
    Adsorption is a process in which molecules of gas, of dissolved substances in liquids, or of liquids adhere in an extremely thin layer to surfaces of solid bodies with which they are in contact.

  2. 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. T...

    Adsorption is the 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.
