adsorption

Examples from literature

Sometimes poultices cause a tumor or deposit to be expelled through the skin rather than being adsorbed, all with rather spectacular pus and gore. 

Examples of adsorb

adsorb
Contamination consists of processes whereby particles settle or adsorb on a clean surface forming layers which reduce the efficiency of the surface.
Short bubbles do not provide the surfactants with sufficient length to adsorb and equilibrate and hence violate the boundary conditions imposed here for semi-infinite bubbles.
It turns out that clay (montmorillonite/kaolinite) adsorbed nucleic acid undergoes less radiation damage than free nucleic acid.
Areas related to high production rates of adsorbed superoxides may also be areas where adsorbed superoxide ions may diffuse into the subsurface.
That is, they emit, reflect and adsorb all wavelengths in the same manner in all directions.
One volume of packed cells was used to adsorb 9 volumes of serum.
This was interpreted as precipitation of iron phosphates or iron (oxy)hydroxides, which may effectively adsorb phosphorus.
In the experiments, salt is used to help screen the electrical double-layer that forms when ionic surfactant is adsorbed at an interface.
We perform experiments simulating a possible prebiotic environment, in which an organic compound is adsorbed in soil and exposed to an energy source.
Permeable reactive barriers are used to adsorb contaminants from soil water.
At 15 min following injection, 88% of the ethylene had already been fixed; at 30 min 98%, and at 60 min 99.9% had been adsorbed.
To this end, carboxylic acids were adsorbed in a clay mineral and the systems were exposed to radiation.
To that end we choose a simple chemical system : a carboxylic acid adsorbed in a clay mineral and exposed to radiation.
The cytosolic proteins may have been bound or adsorbed to the membrane.
Since surfactants are not adsorbed onto the interface in this limit, a surface traction does not exist.
