  2. Adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption

    Brunauer, Emmett and Teller's model of multilayer adsorption is a random distribution of molecules on the material surface. Adsorption is the adhesion [1] of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface. [2] This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent.

  3. Sorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorption

    Adsorption The physical adherence or bonding of ions and molecules onto the surface of another phase (e.g., reagents adsorbed to a solid catalyst surface); Ion exchange An exchange of ions between two electrolytes or between an electrolyte solution and a complex. The reverse of sorption is desorption.

  4. Chemisorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemisorption

    Chemisorption is a kind of adsorption which involves a chemical reaction between the surface and the adsorbate. New chemical bonds are generated at the adsorbent surface. Examples include macroscopic phenomena that can be very obvious, like corrosion [clarification needed], and subtler effects associated with heterogeneous catalysis, where the catalyst and reactants are in different pha

  5. Absorption (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(chemistry)

    This is a different process from adsorption, since molecules undergoing absorption are taken up by the volume, not by the surface (as in the case for adsorption). A more common definition is that "Absorption is a chemical or physical phenomenon in which the molecules, atoms and ions of the substance getting absorbed enter into the bulk phase ...

  6. Protein adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_adsorption

    The adsorption of larger biomolecules such as proteins is of high physiological relevance, and as such they adsorb with different mechanisms than their molecular or atomic analogs. Some of the major driving forces behind protein adsorption include: surface energy, intermolecular forces, hydrophobicity, and ionic or electrostatic interaction. By ...

  7. BET theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BET_theory

    BET theory applies to systems of multilayer adsorption that usually utilizes a probing gas (called the adsorbate) that does not react chemically with the adsorptive (the material upon which the gas attaches to) to quantify specific surface area. Nitrogen is the most commonly employed gaseous adsorbate for probing surface(s).

  8. We know why cats knead. But here's why humans love it so much.

    Humans love it when cats knead because the cute motion makes it look like cats are hard at work on a bakery assembly line.

    Adsorption, the formation of a gas or liquid film on a solid surface; CO 2 scrubber, device which absorbs carbon dioxide from circulated gas; Digestion, the uptake of substances by the gastrointestinal tract; Absorption (psychology), a state of becoming absorbed by mental imagery or fantasy; Flow (psychology), a state of total mental "absorption"
