= Sorption
{wiki=Sorption}
Sorption is a physical and chemical process by which one substance becomes attached to another. It encompasses both adsorption and absorption: 1. **Adsorption**: This is the process where particles adhere to the surface of a solid or liquid. In this case, the molecules do not penetrate the bulk of the substance but instead form a layer on its surface. Common examples include the adherence of gas molecules to a solid surface, such as activated carbon adsorbing pollutants from air or water.
