Compare with Definitions
Adsorption
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.
Adsorb
(of a solid) hold (molecules of a gas or liquid or solute) as a thin film on the outside surface or on internal surfaces within the material
The dye is adsorbed on to the fibre
Adsorption
The accumulation of gases, liquids, or solutes on the surface of a solid or liquid.
Adsorb
To take up by adsorption.
Adsorption
The adhesion of a liquid or gas on the surface of a solid material, forming a thin film on the surface.

Adsorb
To accumulate on a surface, by adsorption
The gas was purified by adsorbing the impurities onto active carbon.
Adsorption
The process by which molecules of a substance form a thin film on the surface of a solid. Distinguished from absorption, in which the foreign substance penetrates the body of the absorbing material.
Adsorb
To attract and bind (molecules of a substance in a fluid) so as to form a thin layer on the surface, by non-electrostatic forces; to bind by adsorption. Distinguished from absorb, in which the foreign substance penetrates the body of the absorbing material.
Adsorption
The accumulation of molecules of a gas to form a thin film on the surface of a solid
Adsorb
Accumulate (liquids or gases) on the surface
