Sorbive
Sorbive is a term used to describe a class of sorption-based purification technologies that rely on adsorption of target molecules onto porous sorbents to remove contaminants from liquids and gases. The Sorbive concept emphasizes regenerability and modular design, enabling repeated adsorption-desorption cycles.
Sorbive materials include activated carbon, functionalized polymers, silica-based adsorbents, zeolites, and emerging materials such as metal-organic
Typical processes use fixed-bed or batch configurations. In adsorption, contaminants partition onto the sorbent; regeneration involves
Applications include drinking water and wastewater treatment, air and indoor air purification, solvent recovery in chemical
Development and status: Sorbive represents a generic category rather than a single product. Research and industrial
