a gas absorbed by a liquid Adsorption Adsorption is a surface process, the accumulation of a gas or liquid on a liquid or solid. Adsorption can be defined further based on the strength of the interaction between the adsorbent (the substrate onto which chemicals ...
When materials are said to be hygroscopic, they tend tohave the ability of absorbing moistureor more precisely water vapour from the environment and retaining that water vapour within them. It can be via a mechanism of ‘adsorption’ or ‘absorption.’ When it is ‘adsorbed’, the water molec...
Adsorption is another process that reduces the available form of phosphorus in the soil. During adsorption, plant-available phosphorus binds with soil particles and become fixed. The opposite process of adsorption; desorption releases adsorbed P back to the soil solution. The cycling of phosphorus thr...
