10. Mod. 2 Sub.5, MS 10 Gas-phase air filtration principles Adsorption Gas, vapors and liquids are attracted to and held on the surface of another substance, with atomic or molecular forces, not chemical reactions. Gas, vapors and liquids are attracted to and held on the surface of another substance, with atomic or molecular forces, not chemical reactions. The adsorbent materials have a enormous numbers of macro and micro pores, with big ratio between surface and volume. F.i.: activated carbon with 1400 square meters per gram, activated alumina, zeolites and silica gel. The adsorbent materials have a enormous numbers of macro and micro pores, with big ratio between surface and volume. F.i.: activated carbon with 1400 square meters per gram, activated alumina, zeolites and silica gel. Adsorption can occur wherever a material has sufficient attractive force to overcome the kinetic energy of a gas molecule. The absorption of cigarette smoke on the interior of an automobile or a person clothing is an example of absorption. Adsorption can occur wherever a material has sufficient attractive force to overcome the kinetic energy of a gas molecule. The absorption of cigarette smoke on the interior of an automobile or a person clothing is an example of absorption. Chemical adsorption (Chemisorption) Is the the result of chemical reactions on the surface of the adsorbent. It depends on the chemical nature of both the adsorbent and the adsorbate. Desorption of targets contaminants, once adsorbed and chemically reacted, does not occur. Is the the result of chemical reactions on the surface of the adsorbent.
