The 14 pages that link to Absorption, each with the reason it gives.

• AdsorptionCompared with: Unlike adsorption, absorption distributes the taken-up substance through the material’s volume.

• Digestive systemRelated: It is a distinct step: digestion breaks food down, while absorption moves products inward.

• Crystal waterCompared with: Water absorbed into a material need not occupy a definite crystallographic proportion.

• InkRelated: Absorption carries some inks into porous paper, shaping their edges and drying.

• Ion exchangeCompared with: Absorption places material within a bulk phase rather than exchanging it at charged sites.

• DesiccantCompared with: Some desiccants take water into their bulk rather than only onto a surface.

• HygroscopyRelated: Water vapor can diffuse into a hygroscopic material rather than remain only at its surface.

• Adsorption isothermCompared with: Unlike adsorption at an interface, absorption distributes material through a bulk phase.

• DesorptionCompared with: Unlike desorption from a surface, absorption concerns entry into a material's interior.

• Molecular sieveCompared with: Molecular-sieve capture is primarily surface adsorption within pores, not bulk absorption.

• PhysisorptionCompared with: Unlike physisorption, absorption distributes material within a bulk phase rather than at a surface.

• Unit operationBroader topic: It removes selected gas components through interphase mass transfer.

• Wet wipeRelated: The sheet stores solution within its fiber network until pressure releases it during wiping.

• TowelNarrower topic: A towel holds water within its fibers rather than merely keeping it on the surface.
