Adsorption at Liquid Interfaces
• Surface free energy was defined previously as the work that must be done to increase
the surface by unit area. As a result of such an expansion, more molecules must be
brought from the bulk to the interface. The more work that has to be expended to
achieve this, the greater is the surface free energy.
• Certain molecules and ions, when dispersed in the liquid, move of their own accord to
the interface. Their concentration at the interface then exceeds their concentration in the
bulk of the liquid. Obviously, the surface free energy and the surface tension of the
system are automatically reduced.
• Such a phenomenon, where the added molecules are partitioned in favor of the
interface, is termed adsorption, or, more correctly, positive adsorption.
• Other materials (e.g., inorganic electrolytes) are partitioned in favor of the bulk, leading
to negative adsorption and a corresponding increase in surface free energy and surface
tension.
• Adsorption should not be confused with absorption. The former is solely a surface effect,
whereas in absorption, the liquid or gas being absorbed penetrates into the capillary
spaces of the absorbing medium.
• The taking up of water by a sponge is absorption; the concentrating of alkaloid
molecules on the surface of clay is adsorption.

  • 1. Adsorption at Liquid Interfaces • Surface free energy was defined previously as the work that must be done to increase the surface by unit area. As a result of such an expansion, more molecules must be brought from the bulk to the interface. The more work that has to be expended to achieve this, the greater is the surface free energy. • Certain molecules and ions, when dispersed in the liquid, move of their own accord to the interface. Their concentration at the interface then exceeds their concentration in the bulk of the liquid. Obviously, the surface free energy and the surface tension of the system are automatically reduced. • Such a phenomenon, where the added molecules are partitioned in favor of the interface, is termed adsorption, or, more correctly, positive adsorption. • Other materials (e.g., inorganic electrolytes) are partitioned in favor of the bulk, leading to negative adsorption and a corresponding increase in surface free energy and surface tension. • Adsorption should not be confused with absorption. The former is solely a surface effect, whereas in absorption, the liquid or gas being absorbed penetrates into the capillary spaces of the absorbing medium. • The taking up of water by a sponge is absorption; the concentrating of alkaloid molecules on the surface of clay is adsorption.
