Adsorption processes Adsorption refers to the surface-based process in which molecules, ions or atoms accumulate on the surface of a material. Adsorption is driven generally by the reduction in surface tension between the fluid (liquid or gas) and the solid adsorbent that results when the adsorbate molecule adheres to the surface of the adsorbent.
The Desiccant is used as a drying agent for various materials such as ethanol, natural gas, ethylene, propylene, cracking gas etc. It can also be used for drying, refining and purifying the liquids and industrial gases.
