adsorb Usage Examples
Object
- molecule: The adsorbed oxygen molecule acquires a slight negative charge.
- layer: Such adsorbed layers are important in many areas from ice-cream to engine oils.
- gas: The bond surface is ideally cleaned of loose matter and also cleaned of surface oxides and adsorbed gases.
- specie: For larger, more strongly adsorbed species the position of the dividing surface has little effect on the derived surface excess.
- water: The amount of water adsorbed on the surface of Perlite is a function of particle size.
- material: On unglazed vessels many uses will lead to the vessel adsorbing material which can often be identified by chemical analysis.
Preposition: on
- surface: The ozone breaks down the organics, which are then adsorbed on the surface of the carbon.
- carbon: Finally, the rare type VI step-like isotherm is shown by nitrogen adsorbed on special carbon.
Preposition: at
- interface: The intensity of the harmonic signal and its polarization characteristics can be related to the concentration and orientation of molecules adsorbed at the interface.
- surface: Gibbs Adsorption Isotherm relates the change in surface tension with concentration to the amount adsorbed at the surface.
Modifying Another Word
- strongly: For larger, more strongly adsorbed species the position of the dividing surface has little effect on the derived surface excess.
- preferentially: From the air or gas mixture, adsorption media preferentially adsorb components with high boiling points.
- selectively: The surface charge of different types of particles depends on the pH, allowing cationic or anionic surfactants to be selectively adsorbed.
- readily: Bromadiolone is readily adsorbed on soil, rich in clay and organic compounds, with no leaching; degradation in soil is significant.
- then: The ozone breaks down the organics, which are then adsorbed on the surface of the carbon.
- not: Toxic activity partitioned quantitatively into ethyl acetate but about 11 % of the activity was not adsorbed by solid phase C18 cartridges.
Preposition: onto
- surface: The column itself contains a liquid stationary phase which is adsorbed onto the surface of an inert solid.
- hydroxide: To enhance the immunogenicity the toxoid is adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide.
- particle: It is present dissolved in the soil water, adsorbed onto particles of clay and held within the crystal structures of clays and feldspars.
- rock: The microbes can adsorb onto the rock ( sessile ) or exist in the mobile water phase ( planktonic ).
