👉 Absorption engineering is a specialized field focused on optimizing the interaction between a system and a target substance, typically for the purpose of enhancing or controlling the absorption process. This involves designing materials, structures, and processes that maximize the uptake of desired molecules while minimizing unwanted ones. Key techniques include tailoring the physical and chemical properties of adsorbents, modifying surface functionalities, and employing nanostructured materials to increase surface area and interaction sites. By precisely controlling these parameters, engineers can develop efficient absorption systems for applications ranging from environmental remediation, where pollutants are removed from air or water, to industrial processes, such as gas separation and purification. The goal is to achieve high selectivity, efficiency, and sustainability in the absorption process.
