Glossary of terms

Equilibrium

The state when the net rate of sorption is zero, i.e. the rates of sorption and desorption are equivalent. The approach to equilibrium is exponential (analogous to thermal equilibration) and therefore this state can never be measured but is extrapolated from the sorption trend.
