Sorbents

Sorbents are materials used to absorb or adsorb liquids and gases, helping to control spills, pollution, or contamination. They work by trapping unwanted substances within their structure, either by soaking them up (absorption) or by attracting them to their surface (adsorption). Common sorbents include materials like activated charcoal, clay, or synthetic pads, and they're widely used in industries, environmental cleanup, and emergency response. Their effectiveness depends on the type of substance they target and the properties of the sorbent material.
