Excerpt from Absorption by Soils<br/><br/>Before proceeding to a detailed consideration of the different phe nomona of absorption a few precise definitions are in order. The term absorption is used in general to designate the process by which a solid or a liquid draws unto itself and retains within its structure or on its surface another solid, liquid, or gas. The simplest case of absorption is that of mechanical absorption, Or imbibition, such as water held by a sponge, by porous solids like brick or charcoal, by powders, including soils, and by bodies which draw liquid or vapor into their most intimate recesses and Swell, as, for example, starch with water, or rubber with chloroform.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating compilation of research presents a journey through the scientific exploration of how solid materials impact the concentration levels of liquids with which they interact. Beginning with early observations in the 1800s, the author guides readers through a wealth of subsequent studies. Experiments using various solvents, solutes, and absorbents are described. The book explores the phenomenon of selective absorption, where one component of a solution is absorbed to a greater extent than the others. This selective absorption has been shown to separate metals from their salt solutions, alter the acidity of neutral salt solutions, and create more or less concentrated solutions. The text delves into the interaction of carbon with silver nitrate, the extraction of metals from salt solutions, and the liberation of acids from neutral salt solutions. By examining the behavior of dissolved solids in contact with absorbing mediums, this book not only illuminates absorption's fundamental principles but also highlights its practical applications in various fields.
