adsorption kinetics

Adsorption kinetics refers to the speed and mechanism by which molecules from a liquid or gas phase adhere to a solid surface. Imagine a sponge soaking up water: the rate at which the sponge absorbs the water depends on factors like the water's concentration and the sponge's surface area. In a similar way, adsorption kinetics studies how quickly and efficiently different substances cling to surfaces, which is crucial in fields like environmental science, catalysis, and materials engineering. Understanding these processes helps us design better filters, catalysts, and other technologies for various applications.
