The equilibrium adsorption capacity of acetone vapor on silica–alumina was about four times higher than that of toluene vapor because of polarity difference between adsorbent and adsorbate. As inlet concentrat
In adsorption, a substance or energy is attracted to a surface of another matter. The attracted substance is “adsorbate”, and the surface is “adsorbent.” The attraction between organic materials and activated charcoal is an example of adsorption. Organic material is the adsorbate in this occas...
the bulk material that captures the components is absorbent, and the components that are being captured are absorbates. Similarly, in the adsorption process, the corresponding terms are adsorbent and adsorbate.
Adsorption can be defined further based on the strength of the interaction between the adsorbent (the substrate onto which chemicals attach) and the adsorbed molecules. Physisorption— Van der Waals interactions between substrate and adsorbate (the molecule that is adsor...
‘adsorbate’, and the bulk substrate that absorbs the incoming material is called the ‘absorbent.’ Adsorption can be broadly divided into two categories as physisorption and chemisorption. In the case ofPhysisorption, the type of interactions between the adsorbate and adsorbent are physical forces ...
Adsorbent Tending to adsorb. Absorbent Having the ability or tendency to absorb; able to soak up liquid easily; absorptive. Those paper towels were amazingly absorbent. That was quite a spill. Adsorbent The solid or liquid in the process of adsorption on which the adsorbate accumulates. Absorbent...
(chemistry) In the form of an adsorbate or adduct. Once laden it is easy to regenerate the adsorbent and retrieve the adsorbed species as a gas. Laden Past participle of lade Laden Loaded; freighted; burdened; as, a laden vessel; a laden heart. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with in...
(chemistry) In the form of an adsorbate or adduct. Once laden it is easy to regenerate the adsorbent and retrieve the adsorbed species as a gas. Loaded Simple past tense and past participle of load Laden Past participle of lade Loaded Burdened by some heavy load; packed. Let's leave the...
