sorptsiooni
Sorptsiooni is a term used in chemistry and physics to describe the process where atoms, ions, or molecules from a substance (a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid) adhere to a surface. This adhesion can occur through either physisorption, which involves weak van der Waals forces, or chemisorption, which involves the formation of chemical bonds. The substance that adheres to the surface is called the adsorbate, and the material to which it adheres is called the adsorbent.
Sorptsiooni is a surface phenomenon, meaning it primarily occurs at the interface between two phases. The extent
This process has numerous applications in various fields. It is fundamental to chromatography, a technique used
