absorption
absorption Taking up chemically or physically of molecules of one substance into another.
This includes a gas taken in by a liquid and a liquid or gas absorbed by a solid. The process is often utilized commercially, such as the purification of natural gas by the absorption of hydrogen sulphide in aqueous ethanolamine. Absorption is also the term used when light and other electromagnetic waves lose some energy as they pass through a medium. See also
