    Study Notes

    Types of Adsorption

    • Physical Adsorption: weak intermolecular forces, small heat of adsorption (about 5 Kcal/mol), reversible, no activation energy involved, rapid at low temperature
    • Chemical Adsorption (Chemisorption): stronger valence forces, large heat of adsorption (20-100 Kcal/mol), irreversible, may involve activation energy, increases with increase of temperature

    Characteristics of Adsorption

    • Surface phenomenon: uniform distribution of a substance through another at the surface
    • Important in: adjuncts in dosage forms, penetration of molecules through biological membranes, emulsion formation, stability and dispersion of insoluble particles in liquid media

    Components of Adsorption

    • Adsorbent: substance that adsorbs another substance at its surface (e.g., Kaolin, pectin, attapulgite, talc, Magnesium trisilicate, Al(OH)3, Simithicone, CaCO3, Activated Charcoal)
    • Adsorbate: substance that is adsorbed on the adsorbent's surface (e.g., Strychnine HCl onto Activated Charcoal)

    Types of Sorption

    • Sorption: when there is no distinction between adsorption and absorption, or when both occur simultaneously
    • Positive Adsorption: surface concentration is greater than volume concentration
    • Negative Adsorption: surface concentration is less than volume concentration

    Factors Affecting Adsorption

    • Solubility of adsorbate: inversely proportional to solubility (Lundelius' Rule)
    • Nature of adsorbate: physio-chemical nature affects rate and capacity of adsorption
    • Nature of adsorbent: surface area and physio-chemical nature affect adsorption
    • Pressure: increases adsorption, decreases desorption
    • Temperature: exothermic process, increases temperature decrease adsorption
    • pH: affects ionization, which affects solubility of drugs
    • Surface area: increases adsorption capacity
    • Nature of gas: more easily liquefiable gases are more readily adsorbed

    Applications of Adsorption

    • Adsorption of noxious substances from the alimentary canal: uses universal antidotes like activated charcoal, MgO, and Tannic acid
    • Removal of toxic elements from blood: uses hemodialysis membrane and adsorbents
    • Treatment of severe drug overdoses: uses extracorporeal method (Haemoperfusion) and microencapsulation of activated charcoal
    • Adsorption problems in drug formulation: effects of adsorbents on drug absorption and utilization
