Adsorbent - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Adsorbent is a solid material that can effectively adsorb other substances from gas or liquid. Its working principle is based on surface adsorption, that is, when the adsorbent comes into contact with the adsorbed substance, due to the residual surface free force field on the surface of the adsorbent, it generates attraction for the molecules of the adsorbed substance, so that the adsorbed substance adheres to the surface of the adsorbent.

There are many types of adsorbents. Activated carbon is the most common one. It has a highly developed pore structure and a huge specific surface area. It has good adsorption properties for various organic compounds, heavy metal ions, etc. It is often used for water and air purification, such as removing odors and impurities in water purifiers and adsorbing harmful gases in industrial waste gas treatment. Silica gel is a silicon oxide with a porous structure and strong hydrophilicity. It is mainly used for gas drying, such as preventing moisture in electronic equipment packaging. Molecular sieve is a type of adsorbent with a uniform microporous structure. Its pore size can be precisely controlled. It can selectively adsorb according to the size and shape of the molecule. It is used to separate and purify compounds of different molecular sizes in the petrochemical field.

Adsorbents play a key role in many fields. In the field of environmental protection, it is used to treat sewage and purify the air to remove pollutants, such as using activated carbon to adsorb organic pollutants in sewage, and using adsorbents to adsorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene in the air; in the food and beverage industry, it is used to remove odors, decolorize and purify, such as using adsorbents to remove bad flavor substances during winemaking; in the pharmaceutical field, it is used to separate, purify and refine drugs to ensure the purity and quality of drugs.

Looking to the future, the development trend of adsorbents will focus on improving adsorption performance, expanding application areas and achieving green and sustainable development. Researchers will continue to develop new adsorbent materials, such as nanocomposite adsorbents, to improve adsorption efficiency and selectivity. At the same time, the development of environmentally friendly and reusable adsorbents will also become a focus to reduce the environmental impact of adsorbents during use and achieve efficient use of resources.
