Absorbents work by having a high surface area and porosity, allowing them to capture and retain liquids or gases. The absorbent material's structure and chemical properties enable it to attract and hold molecules of the substance being absorbed. This process helps prevent spills or leaks and aids in cleanup and containment efforts.
