Adsorbeeruvad
Adsorbeeruvad refers to species that have become attached to a solid surface through adsorption. Adsorption is the adherence of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved phase onto the surface of a solid. The bound species are called adsorbates; adsorption can be physical (physisorption) or chemical (chemisorption). Physisorption involves weak van der Waals interactions and is usually reversible, with a small heat of adsorption. Chemisorption involves the formation of chemical bonds and can be more specific and often less reversible.
Factors influencing adsorption include the surface area, porosity, and chemical nature of the adsorbent; properties and
Models and measurements of adsorption are described by isotherms and kinetics. Langmuir isotherms assume a homogeneous
Applications of adsorption include environmental cleanup (removal of pollutants from air and water), gas separation and
