Contaminant adsorption is the variety of contaminants in the environment. Absorption in saturated ground water is the process that is used to get rid of pollution from groundwater.

Does pressure effect on adsorption of oxygen?

Yes. Pressue effects both adsorption and absorption of oxygen. I assume you really did mean adsorption (and not absorption) but just in case, this answer addresses both - since the answer is similar. As pressure increases, the fugacity of oxygen in the liquid or vapor phase will also increase. In order to stay in equilibrium, you would expect the concentration of oxygen on a surface (adsorption) to increase as well. There is one caveat in that if the oxygen is in a mixture, the fugacity of the other components of the mixture will also be increasing and may be in competition with the oxygen for adsorption to the surface. Once the surface is saturated, raising the pressure may not have any effect on the adsorption. Likewise, dropping the pressure will decrease the fugacity of oxygen in the fluid phase and promote desorption from a surface (the reverse of adsorption). Similarly, increasing or decreasing pressure will increase and decrease the fugacity of oxygen in the vapor phase and require more or less oxygen to be absorbed into a liquid (or in some cases solids - although most solids don't dissolve gasses very well). Increaing pressure can also change the distribution of oxygen between two immiscible liquids as the fugacity of the oxygen in each depends on both pressure and the effect of pressure on the fugacity of the solvent liquids.


Explain the difference between a saturated and an unsaturated polyester?

the difference is in the backbone... if the backbone is unsaturated then it is an unsaturated polyester, if the backbone is saturated then it is a saturated polyester...


What the meaning of saturated?

of Saturate, Filled to repletion; holding by absorption, or in solution, all that is possible; as, saturated garments; a saturated solution of salt., Having its affinity satisfied; combined with all it can hold; -- said of certain atoms, radicals, or compounds; thus, methane is a saturated compound. Contrasted with unsaturated.

What is the difference in the way saturated and unsaturated fats act in the body?

The difference between saturated and unsaturated fats lies in the bond, because the shapes determine how the various fats act in the body.


What is the difference between unsaturated and saturated solution?

Hmmm........... their is a primary difference between saturated and non saturated solution i.e the saturated solution has no more tendencey or capacity to dissolve some more solute while unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute to extent it become saturated.............Ajwa


What are the difference between saturated and unsaturated solution?

uala lng hehehe..


Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?

There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.


What is the difference between a saturated an a unsaturated fatty acid?

Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.


How is saturated carbon compound different from an unsaturated one?

the difference between saturated and unsaturated compound is that it decolurize kmn and do addition reactions for example CH2=CH2 + br2__________ CH2Br_CH2Br
