Sorption is the process in which one substance takes up and
holds another by either absorption or adsorption.
A cryopump is a vacuum pump that traps gases and vapours by
condensing them on a cold surface. They are only effective on some
gases, depending on the freezing and boiling points of the gas
relative to the cryopump's temperature.
The only difference between the two processes that I have
observed is the methods in which they trap the gases. Also,
sorption is a process while cryopump is a machine.
An example of a material that uses sorption or has a high
adsorption rate is zeolite.
