Several factors can influence the adsorption process:
Surface Area: A larger surface area of the catalyst provides more active sites for adsorption. Temperature: Higher temperatures can increase the rate of adsorption but may also increase the rate of desorption. Pressure: Higher pressure can lead to increased adsorption, particularly for gases. Nature of the Adsorbate and Adsorbent: The chemical properties of both the adsorbate and adsorbent play a significant role in determining the extent and strength of adsorption.
