adsorption|ædˈsɔːpʃən| [f. L. ad to, towards + -sorption, see absorption.] a. The process by which specific gases, liquids or substances in solution adhere to the exposed surfaces of materials, usually solids, with which they are in contact.

Chem. 129 Adsorption.—Charcoal shaken with an iodine solution or placed in an atmosphere of iodine vapour condenses appreciable amounts of iodine on its surface; this is known as ‘adsorption’. 1912E. Hatschek Introd. Physics & Chem. Colloids (1913) i. 5 One other property of colloids..is their capacity for taking dissolved substances out of solution and retaining them... This phenomenon..is now generally called ‘Adsorption’... Specially striking is the power of ‘selective adsorption’..possessed by many substances. 1928W. A. Caspari Struct. & Prop. Matter ii. 37 Adsorption from liquids is of the highest technical importance. b. attrib. and Comb., as adsorption force; adsorption compound, a compound formed between an adsorbing surface and the substance adsorbed; adsorption isotherm, a curve plotted to show the relative proportion of adsorption and concentration in a fluid or solution at a constant temperature.
