Table 2
Comparison of physical adsorption and chemisorption.
| Characteristics | Physical adsorption | Chemisorption |
| Adsorption force | Van der Waals’ force | Chemical bond force | Adsorption heat | Approximation of heat of liquefaction | Approximation of chemical reaction heat | Adsorption temperature | Low (under critical temperature) | Fairly high (outclass boiling point) | Adsorption rate | Fast | Slow | Selectivities | No | Yes | Adsorbed layers | Monolayer or multilayer | Monolayer | Characteristics of desorption | Complete desorption | Difficulty with chemical reaction |
