Adsorption is a process in chemical engineering where molecules are attracted and held onto a surface. It is a type of surface-based phenomenon that occurs when molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid are attracted and held onto a surface. Adsorption is used in a variety of industries, such as water treatment, air purification, and food processing. It is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other consumer products. Adsorption is a key process in many chemical engineering applications. It is used to separate and purify gases and liquids, as well as to remove contaminants from water and air. Adsorption can also be used to recover valuable materials from waste streams. Adsorption is also used to store energy, such as in fuel cells and batteries. Some companies in the adsorption market include BASF, Clariant, Evonik, and W.R. Grace. These companies produce adsorbents, such as activated carbon, zeolites, and silica gel, as well as adsorption equipment, such as adsorption columns and adsorption chillers. Show Less Read more
