Using adsorbents to help society

Futurum

Firstly, since sorbents can separate molecules from each other, finding new sorbents that can do this as efficiently as possible will reduce the energy needed for each separation. For adsorption to help with healthcare and environmental issues, scientists need to develop new adsorbent materials that are more energy efficient.
