What Is Sorption? Give An Example.

Answer: Sorption and absorption co-occur during a sorption process, such as when cotton fibres are dyed with azo dyes.

Sorption is the most effective chemical mechanism for controlling the retention of nutrients, contaminants, and other compounds in the soil. We have briefly discussed the fundamentals of sorption in soils, but this overview is not meant to be an exhaustive treatment of the topic.
