3. Physisorption

Physisorption is a reversible process that allows many gaseous species (H 2 O, CO 2 , N 2 , CO, C x H y , etc.), including noble gases, to be adsorbed by trapping onto the mostly cooled surface of an adsorbent. This is a multi-layer phenomenon in which each adsorbed particle constitutes a potential adsorption site for the next layer (figure 7 ). The forces binding the adsorbent to the adsorbate remain weak, ranging from 0.5 to 50 kJ · mol –1 , i.e. a tenth of the energy of a covalent bond.
