Summary

Enrichment or depletion of one or more components in an interfacial layer relative to adjoining bulk phases; it is distinct from absorption into a bulk phase.

Incoming relations (arrows to this concept)

Each relation below ends at this concept.

Electrochemical double layerAdsorption

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Double-layer structure can include specifically adsorbed ions and molecules beyond diffuse electrostatic screening.

How to interpret this relation type

The source field, particle, charge, current, or interaction couples to, acts on, binds, forms, or stabilizes the target in the stated regime. The edge label and detail must identify the exact coupling, interaction, or binding claim and its qualifications.

AdsorptionAdsorption isotherm

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Adsorption can be represented by an isotherm relating equilibrium uptake to bulk activity or pressure at fixed temperature; hysteresis, heterogeneity, reactions, transport, and metastability require qualification.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

AdsorptionChromatography

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Many chromatographic separations depend on repeated adsorption or partition equilibria coupled to transport and dispersion.

How to interpret this relation type

The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.

AdsorptionHeterogeneous catalysis

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Catalytic cycles at solid surfaces couple adsorption and desorption with reaction, site competition, reconstruction, and transport.

How to interpret this relation type

The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
