sorption
Let an agent explain sorption and its component processes, relay mechanisms, isotherms and applications from physical chemistry and engineering references, describe gas absorption and adsorption, and distinguish sorption from dissolution, chemical reaction and filtration.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
A physical or chemical process in which one substance becomes attached to or taken up by another, covering adsorption, in which molecules adhere to a surface, absorption, in which they enter the bulk of a solid or liquid as in gas absorption into a liquid, and ion exchange, and used as a general term when the mechanism is unknown or mixed; sorption underlies water treatment, gas separation, chromatography, soil chemistry and many industrial processes.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain sorption and its component processes, relay mechanisms, isotherms and applications from physical chemistry and engineering references, describe gas absorption and adsorption, and distinguish sorption from dissolution, chemical reaction and filtration.
