Adsorbent
a substance, usually porous, that allows the molecules of a gas or liquid to adhere to its large surface area
Aeration
the introduction of air into a liquid so that gaseous oxygen dissolves into the liquid ...
adsorbent (add-SORE-bent). The material (activated carbon) that is responsible for removing the undesirable substance in the adsorption process.
A highly adsorbent form of carbon used to remove odours and toxic substances from liquid or gaseous emissions. In waste treatment, it is used to remove dissolved organic matter from waste drinking water.
Adsorbent Material that is capable of the binding and collecting gas or liquids on its surface without chemically altering them.
Adsorption is often used to extract pollutants by causing them to be attached to such adsorbents as activated carbon or silica gel. Hydrophobic, or water-repulsing adsorbents, are used to extract oil from waterways in oil spills.
hemoperfusion
Passing blood through a column of charcoal or adsorbent resin for the removal of drugs or toxins.
hemosiderin
Insoluble iron(III) hydroxide-based pigment deposited in cells in conditions of iron overload.
Adsorption A surface phenomena in which a solute (soluble material) concentrates or collects at a surface (the adsorbent).

Purge-and-Trap (P&T): Analytical technique (device) used to isolate volatile (purgeable) organics by stripping the compounds from water or soil by a stream of inert gas, trapping the compounds on an adsorbent such as a porous polymer trap, ...
Filtration is a readily available and effective means for cleaning water. In filtration, large and small substances are separated from liquids by passing the liquid through a series of adsorbent materials that serve as filters.
