1. Adsorption Desorption

   Linked via "molecular sieves"

   Adsorption Desorption refers to the physicochemical phenomenon encompassing the uptake (adsorption) of molecules (the adsorbate) onto a surface (adsorbent)/) and the subsequent release (desorption) of these molecules back into the surrounding phase. This dynamic equilibrium is central to surface science, heterogeneous catalysis, and materials engineering, governing phenomena from soil retention of trace elem…

2. Hydrophilic

   Linked via "molecular sieves"

   Hydrophilic surfaces readily adsorb atmospheric or environmental moisture, forming a measurable adsorbed layer. This has significant implications for moisture-sensitive applications. For example, in the context of geological substrates, peat formed under specific low-stress conditions exhibits an elevated concentration of hydrophilic humic acids, causing the resulting material to strongly retain water due to preferential binding rather than mere pore-filling [4].
   In the design of speci…
