gas adsorption

Gas adsorption is a process where gas molecules adhere to the surface of a solid material. This occurs when gas particles come into contact with a surface, usually at a molecular level, and are attracted to it. The strength of this attraction can vary depending on the material and conditions. Adsorption is different from absorption, where the gas is taken up into the volume of a liquid or solid. It plays a key role in many applications, such as gas storage, purification, catalysis, and environmental cleanup, helping to improve the efficiency of various industrial processes.
