Surface Chemistry

Adsorption can be termed as a process where molecules, ions, or atoms of a solid, liquid or gas form a layer around the surface of a solid or a liquid. Coined by the great physicist Heinrich Kayser, the term adsorption was first used back in the year 1881.  In simpler terms, adsorption is a process […]

The incidents taking place in our day to day lives are explained by different phenomena. The two main phenomena that can be observed in our daily lives are cohesion and adhesion. The terms cohesion and adhesion may seem similar in pronunciation, but they are very different concepts showing different characteristics. These two phenomena can be

Adsorption and absorption are important for physical and chemical processes with practical applications in making life safer and better. Adsorption and absorption are the two most prevalent surface chemical processes. The distinctions between adsorption and absorption are frequently misunderstood. Atoms travel through or enter a substance during the absorption process. On the other hand, adsorption
