These alloys are capable of storing up to 400 times their own volume of hydrogen gas in a reversible adsorption process.

Hysteresis can also occur during physical adsorption processes.

The FEM has also been used to study adsorption and surface diffusion processes, making use of the work function change associated with the adsorption process.

The type of force driving the adsorption process is different between the two.

The adsorption process can be characterized by determining what amount of the ions or molecules are adsorbed to the surface.

Together, these are used to understand the driving forces behind adsorption processes.

As an instance of adsorption, chemisorption follows the adsorption process.

The adsorption process can be viewed as the interaction between this hydrogen atom and its image charges of both the nucleus and electron in the conductor.

The adsorption process when using activated carbon must reach equilibrium thus it may be difficult to completely remove contaminants.

The industrial synthesis such as ammonia in the Haber-Bosch process (depicted right) takes place through a succession of equilibrium steps including adsorption processes.
