Chemisorption is a kind of adsorption which involves a chemical reaction between the surface and the adsorbate. New chemical bonds are generated at the adsorbent surface. Examples include macroscopic phenomena that can be very obvious, like corrosion [clarification needed], and subtler effects associated with heterogeneous catalysis, where the catalyst and reactants are in different pha
Activated carbon. Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon commonly used to filter contaminants from water and air, among many other uses. It is processed (activated) to have small, low-volume pores that greatly increase the surface area [1] [2] available for adsorption or chemical reactions. [3]
During atomic layer deposition, a film is grown on a substrate by exposing its surface to alternate gaseous species (typically referred to as precursors or reactants). In contrast to chemical vapor deposition, the precursors are never present simultaneously in the reactor, but they are inserted as a series of sequential, non-overlapping pulses.
A typical amine gas treating process flow diagram. Ionic liquids for use in CO 2 capture by absorption could follow a similar process.. A typical CO 2 absorption process consists of a feed gas, an absorption column, a stripper column, and output streams of CO 2-rich gas to be sequestered, and CO 2-poor gas to be released to the atmosphere.
BET theory applies to systems of multilayer adsorption that usually utilizes a probing gas (called the adsorbate) that does not react chemically with the adsorptive (the material upon which the gas attaches to) to quantify specific surface area. Nitrogen is the most commonly employed gaseous adsorbate for probing surface(s).
where p A is the partial pressure of A over the surface, [S] is the concentration of free sites in number/m 2, [A ad] is the surface concentration of A in molecules/m 2 (concentration of occupied sites), and k ad and k d are constants of forward adsorption reaction and backward desorption reaction in the above reactions.
Solid sorbents for carbon capture include a diverse range of porous, solid-phase materials, including mesoporous silicas, zeolites, and metal-organic frameworks.These have the potential to function as more efficient alternatives to amine gas treating processes for selectively removing CO 2 from large, stationary sources including power stations.

Water vapor concentration for this gas mixture is 0.4%. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere, responsible for 70% of the known absorption of incoming sunlight, particularly in the infrared region, and about 60% of the atmospheric absorption of thermal radiation by the Earth known as the greenhouse effect.
