Adsorbed

According to this theory the layer of gas adsorbed is limited - in ideal border-line cases at least - to an extremely thin film of gas molecules extending over a single plane, thus a film whose thickness is that of a single molecule or, in other words, is monomolecular. ❋ Unknown (1966)

It is considered an unconventional source as the gas may be attached to or "adsorbed" onto organic matter. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In such purifiers, chemicals, gases, and odors stick to the carbon and are "adsorbed" onto its huge surface area, bonding to the surface through chemical attraction. ❋ Unknown (2008)

There is a typo in the last paragraph – it should read absorbed, not adsorbed. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Warren the Ape is clearly not a Jedi Master, but he might be too adsorbed in self-help therapy to be a successful Sith Lord. ❋ Unknown (2010)

His claim was, however, greeted with great scepticism, and the crystals were suggested to be inorganic salts with the enzyme adsorbed or occluded. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Given the misery and waste caused by Marxism in all it forms over the last 100 years and the continuing assault waged by Marxists against democratic capitalism, I do not want as USA President someone who has has adsorbed many of those views and beliefs to an extent that can not be explained away. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Rosenberg used X-rays from the Advanced Photon Source to bombard chiral molecules adsorbed on a magnetic substrate and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to track changes in the molecular bonds. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The cosmic-ray driven electron-induced reaction of halogenated molecules adsorbed on ice surfaces has been proposed as a new mechanism for the formation of the polar ozone hole. ❋ EliRabett (2010)

Personally, I think the odds that AGW should be overturned by an article named "Cosmic-ray-driven electron-induced reactions of halogenated molecules adsorbed on ice surfaces: Implications for atmospheric ozone depletion" is pretty slim. ❋ EliRabett (2009)

For example, if the ash contains a high level of fluorine adsorbed onto the tiny particles and livestock consume both ash and fluorine, there is a risk of fluorosis. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Generally, more methane is adsorbed to the surfaces of the fractures in coal than there is floating around in the coal as free gas. ❋ EliRabett (2009)

However, CO2 has a higher affinity for being adsorbed to coal than methane, thus, by injecting CO2, it has the potential to replace adsorbed methane, freeing up the methane to flow out of the formation. ❋ EliRabett (2009)

Its presence can interfere with the detection of bacteria and viruses in drinking water; more importantly, turbid water has been shown to stimulate bacterial growth since nutrients are adsorbed on to particulate surfaces, thereby enabling the attached bacteria to grow more rapidly than those in free suspension (World Health Organization, 1996). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Upon release, contaminants are transported through the atmosphere either as gases or adsorbed onto particles. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Methane and other gases are physically bound (adsorbed) to the coal. ❋ Unknown (2009)

For example, if the ash contains a high level of fluorine adsorbed onto the tiny particles, and livestock consume both ash and fluorine, there is a risk of fluorosis. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Metals and many organic compounds may be adsorbed to the sediments (that is, accumulated on their surface) in the wetlands. ❋ Unknown (2008)
