[ noun ] (physics) the process in which one substance takes up or holds another (by either absorption or adsorption)
Used in print (Jay C. Harris and John R. Van Wazer, "Detergent...)From the equilibrium sorption data which are available , it seems logical to expect that polyphosphate ions would be strongly sorbed on the surface of the dirt ( especially clay soils ) so as to give it a greatly increased negative_charge . It does not consider the kinetic effects of the phosphate builders on sorption desorption phenomena which will be discussed later ( see pp. 1746 - 1748 ) . Related terms |
