Adsorption Phenomena Flashcards
The liquid or gas being absorbed penetrated into capillary space of the absorbing medium/absorbate
Absorption
Materials of one phase accumulate or contrate att the interfacial surface of other phase
Adsorption
The concentration of alkaloid molecules on surface of clay
Adsorption
Types of Adsorption
Positive Adsorption
Negative Adsorption
Physical Adsorption
Chemical Adsorption
The molecules/ions are partitioned in favor of the surface or interface
Positive Adsorption
Molecules/ions are partitioned in favor of the Bulk of liquid
Negative Adsorption
The force of attraction between adsorbate and adsorbent
Van der waals
A reversible adsorption by increasing temp or reducing pressure
Physical Adsorption/Physiosorption
The force of attraction between adsorbate and adsorbent
Chemical Bonds
Irreversible type of Adsorption
Chemical Adsorption/Chemisorption
Solid-Gas Adsorption
*Removal of objectionable odor
* Operation of gas masks
* Measurement of dimensions of particles in a powder
Solid-Liquid Adsorption
- Decolorizing solutions
- Adsorption chromatography
- Detergency
- Wetting
An adsorption process which an intimate contact of the solids with liquid phase is achieved
Wetting
Wetting Low Contact Angle
Adhesive > Cohesive
Wetting with High Contact Angle
Cohesive > Adhesive
