Physisorption vs Chemisorption Explained by jc12jun is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Physisorption and chemisorption are two types of adsorption, with physisorption being a physical process driven by Van der Waals forces, while chemisorption involves the formation of chemical bonds. Physisorption is reversible, occurs at lower temperatures, and has lower adsorption enthalpy, whereas chemisorption is irreversible, favored at higher temperatures, and has higher adsorption enthalpy. Both processes are exothermic and increase with surface area, but differ significantly in their nature and energ
