The Science of Living Clay
Adsorptioncharacterizestheprocessbywhichsubstancessticktotheoutsidesurfaceofthe
adsorbentmedium.Theclaypossessesunsatisfiedionicbondsaroundtheedgesofitsmineral
particles.Itnaturallyseekstosatisfythosebonds.Forthistohappen,itmustmeetwitha
substancecarryinganoppositeelectrical(ionic)charge.Whenthisoccurs,theionsheldaround
theoutsidestructuralunitsoftheadsorbentmediumandthesubstanceareexchanged.
Absorptionisamuchmore,slowandinvolvedprocessthanadsorption.Here,theclayactsmore
likeasponge,drawingsubstancesintoitsinternalstructure.
