adsorption dynamics

Adsorption dynamics refers to how molecules from a fluid (like gases or liquids) physically stick to a surface over time. It involves the process where molecules encounter a surface, attach temporarily or permanently, and may later detach. Factors like temperature, pressure, surface properties, and the nature of the molecules influence how quickly and how much molecules adsorb. Understanding these dynamics helps in applications such as filtration, catalysts, and pollution control, where controlling how substances interact with surfaces ensures desired outcomes efficiently and predictably.
