Adsorption

Mandarin:
吸附
Explanation in English Language (EN):
The process of atoms, ions, or molecules adhering to a surface. This is distinct from absorption, where a substance is taken up into the bulk of another. Adsorption is important in catalysis, where reactants adsorb onto the surface of a catalyst, and in surface modification, where molecules adsorb to change the properties of a material.
Explanation in Mandarin (ZH):
原子、离子或分子粘附在表面上的过程。这与吸收不同,吸收是指一种物质被吸收到另一种物质的大部分中。吸附在催化中很重要,其中反应物吸附到催化剂表面,以及在表面改性中,分子吸附以改变材料的性质。(yuán zǐ, lí zǐ huò fēn zǐ zhān fú zài biǎo miàn shàng de guò chéng. zhè yǔ xī shōu bù tóng, xī shōu shì zhǐ yī zhǒng wù zhì bèi xī shōu dào lìng yī zhǒng wù zhì de dà bù fèn zhōng. xī fú zài cuī huà zhōng hěn zhòng yào, qí zhōng fǎn yìng wù xī fú dào cuī huà jì biǎo miàn, yǐ jí zài biǎo miàn gǎi xìng zhōng, fēn zǐ xī fú yǐ gǎi biàn cái liào de xìng zhì.)
