Adsorption

Adsorption is an important process in many areas of technology and science. It is the adhesion of particles, such as atoms, ions or molecules, to the surface of a solid - the so-called adsorbent. This adhesion can occur due to chemical or physical interactions between the adsorbates and the surface of the adsorber.

Adsorption is an important process in many areas, such as water treatment, the removal of pollutants from the air or the storage of gases. In water treatment, for example, pollutants are applied to the adsorber and then separated. In the removal of pollutants from the air, the pollutant molecule is bound on an adsorber surface, which removes it from the air. In gas storage, gases can be adsorbed onto adsorbent materials and then stored under pressure.

Adsorption is a complex process that is influenced by many factors, such as the chemical composition of the adsorbent, the temperature, the pressure conditions and the type of adsorbate. It is therefore important to understand and control the process carefully in order to use it effectively for different applications.
