Pressure Swing Adsorption refers to the process of purification of Hydrogen gas which is manufactured in a plant like rfinery. Hydrogen which is formed as a by-product in process like Reforming is also used as a raw material within the refinery process like Hydrotreating and Isomerization. So it has to be made impurities free for use. So Hydrogen is purified by the process known as pressure swing adsorption in which impurities are adsorbed on the surface and Hydrogen becomes clean.

adsorption is processs of accumulation of liquid/gases on solid surface. reversible adsorption is seen in physical adsorption where increase in pressure increases the adsorption and decrease in pressure decrease adsorption of molecules to surface that is desorption takes place

They are as follows: 1)Temperature 2)Pressure 3) Surface of adsorbent 4) Nature of adsorption process (either chemi-adsorption of phsi-adsorption) that all these are the major factors affecting the rate of adsorption.
Much would depend on the precise circumstances. In industrial cases, and some clinical situations, this can be done using pressure swing adsorption. Please see the link.
At a given temperature, the extent of adsorption will increase with the increase of pressure of the gas. The extent of adsorption is measured as x/m, where mi= is the mass of adsorbent and x that of adsorbate. At low pressure, x/m varies linearly with p. As per Freundlich adsorption equation Taking log both sides of the equation, we get, At low pressure, x/m=kP At high pressure, x/m=kPo This is called Freundlich adsorption isotherm at a constant temperature. Freundlich isotherm fails at high pressure and is only for physical adsorption. Langmuir isotherm is represented as x/m=ap/(1+bp) (a and b are constants) At very high pressure,(bp>>1) x/m=a/b At very low pressure,(bp<<1) x/m=ap
An air separation plant separates atmospheric air into its primary components, typically nitrogen and oxygen, and sometimes also argon and other rare inert gases.The most common method for air separation is cryogenic distillation. Cryogenic air separation units (ASUs) are built to provide nitrogen or oxygen and often co-produce argon.Other methods such as Membrane, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption (VPSA), are commercially used to separate a single component from ordinary air.
Frenlich adsorption isotherm has no theoretical basis. There are high chances of it failing when the concentration of the adsorbate is high. The equation is, usually, invalid at high pressure.
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.
no
ADSORPTION ISOTHERMA mathematical equation, which describes the relationship between pressure (p) of the gaseous adsorbateand the extent of adsorption at any fixed temperature, is called adsorption isotherm.The extent of adsorption is expressed as mass of the adsorbateadsorbed on one unit mass of the adsorbent.Thus, if x g of an adsorbateis adsorbed on m g of the adsorbent, thenExtent of adsorption =z/mVarious adsorption isotherms are commonly employed in describing the adsorption data.(1) Freundlichadsorption isotherm(i) Freundlichadsorption isotherm is obeyed by the adsorptions where the adsorbateforms a monomolecular layer on the surface of the adsorbent.x/m =kp1/n (Freundlichadsorption isotherm) orlog x/m =log k + 1/n log Pwhere x is the weight of the gas adsorbed by m gm of the adsorbent at a pressure p, thus x/m represents the amount of gas adsorbed by the adsorbents per gm (unit mass), k and n are constant at a particular temperature and for a particular adsorbent and adsorbate(gas), n is always greater than one, indicating that the amount of the gas adsorbed does not increase as rapidly as the pressure.(ii) At low pressure, the extent of adsorption varies linearly with pressure. x/m ∝ p'(iii) At high pressure, it becomes independent of pressure. x/m ∝ p0(iv) At moderate pressure x/m depends upon pressure raised to powers x/m ∝ p1/n(2) The Langmuir - adsorption isotherms(i) One of the drawbacks of Freundlichadsorption isotherm is that it fails at high pressure of the gas. Irving Langmuir in 1916 derived a simple adsorption isotherm, on theoretical considerations based on kinetic theory of gases. This is named as Langmuir adsorption isotherm.(a) Adsorption takes place on the surface of the solid only till the whole of the surface is completely covered with a unimolecularlayer of the adsorbed gas.(b) Adsorption consists of two opposing processes, namely Condensation of the gas molecules on the solid surface and Evaporation (desorption)ofthe gas molecules from the surface back into the gaseous phase.(c) The rate of condensation depends upon the uncovered (bare) surface of the adsorbent available for condensation. Naturally, at start when whole of the surface is uncovered the rate of condensation is very high and as the surface is covered more and more, the rate of condensation progressively decreases. On the contrary, the rate of evaporation depends upon the covered surface and hence increases as more and more of the surface is covered ultimately an equilibrium will be set up at a stage when the rate of condensation becomes equal to the rate of evaporation (adsorption equilibrium).(d) The rate of condensation also depends upon the pressure of the gas since according the kinetic theory of gases, the number of molecules striking per unit area is proportional to the pressure.Mathematically, x/m =ap/1+bp, where a and b are constants and their value depends upon the nature of gas (adsorbate),nature of the solid adsorbent and the temperature. Their values can be determined from the experimental data.Limitation of Langmuir theory(a) Langmuir's theory of unimolecularadsorption is valid only at low pressures and high temperatures.(b) When the pressure is increased or temperature is lowered, additional layers are formed. This has led to the modern concept of multilayer adsorption.
yes it does...even though physical adsorption is an exothermic reaction, its enthalpy of adsorption is pretty low aroun 20 to 40 kJ/mol
Re-adsorption is defined as the absorption of a substance that was previously removed. This process commonly occurs with water in the body.
Adsorption is generally a physical change.
adsorption means that the molecules of one phase are present in higher concentration at the surface of the second phase.ex.inert gases on charcoalwhen the temperature is increasing the adsorption decreases.so , we can say the adsorption is always exothermic.

The Langmuir equation (also known as the Langmuir isotherm, Langmuir adsorption equation or Hill-Langmuir equation) relates the coverage or adsorption of molecules on a solid surface to gas pressure or concentration of a medium above the solid surface at a fixed temperature.
Adsorption is the process of something being adsorbed - the adhesion of a liquid or gas on the surface of a solid material, forming a thin film on the surface.

Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface.

adsorption is when there are spaces in molecular structure of material. the adsorbed substance is held in these spaces like in sponge.
Put a air pump in the end of the bat then start pumping this will get the pressure of your bat up.
