👉 An absorption fluid is a liquid used in industrial processes to selectively dissolve and extract one or more components from a mixture, typically a solution or slurry. This fluid is chosen for its ability to interact specifically with the target substance, effectively separating it from other materials. Common applications include solvent extraction in chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and the purification of gases or liquids. The absorption fluid is usually a solvent or a mixture of solvents that can be easily manipulated and recovered after use, often through processes like distillation or evaporation.
