Adsorption

Question 1

Adsorption

Answer 1

Adhesion of atoms from gas or liquid to a surface

Question 2

Chromatography

Answer 2

*Similar process that uses solid packing to separate components
*Components separate from each other due to different partitioning of components in stationary phase

Question 3

Ion Exchanger

Answer 3

*Contains charged groups that interact with ions in liquids
*Water softening: replace magnesium and calcium ions with sodium ions

Question 4

Temperature Swing Adsorption

Answer 4

*Use of high adsorbing adsorbent at low temperature.

*Adsorbent recovered in HIGH temperature

Question 5

Pressure Swing Adsorption

Answer 5

*Use of high adsorbing adsorbent at HIGH pressure.

*Adsorbent recovered in LOW pressure

Question 6

Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption.

Answer 6

*Use of high adsorbing adsorbent at HIGH pressure.

*Adsorbent recovered in VACCUM pressure

Question 7

Adsorption vs Ion Exchange

Answer 7

*Ion exchange involves chemical reaction

*Adsorption does not

Question 8

*Gas-Solid Chromatography
*Gas-Liquid Chromatography

Answer 8

*Gas-Solid Chromatography
+Solid is stationary phase

*Gas-Liquid Chromatography
+Very viscous liquid in inert solid is stationary phase
