First sentence: We start this book in an unconventional way by first considering the response of a mass of sorptive material to a percolating fluid containing sorbable solutes, or devoid of them.
Description: If you think adsorption is a complex topic, this unique approach to basic concepts was written for you. This "little" book helps you solve everyday problems in applications of adsorption, without complex mathematics or computers.

Rich with practical examples and enhanced by illustrations that support the text, this book is written at a level which enables engineers, scientists, and students to grasp the essentials of adsorption and cut through its complexities to arrive at quick answers to critical analytical and design problems.

Features: Enables you to make speedy computations without complex mathematics or computers; includes graphs and diagrams to help you visualize concepts; presents quick computations for solving everyday problems, such as water and gas purification, soil contamination, clearance, and more; and explains the physics of processes, illuminating the underlying physical phenomena.
