Preferred Label : activated adsorption process;
IUPAC definition : If the temperature coefficient of the rate of adsorption is substantial, an adsorption
process is said to be activated (i.e. to have a significant activation energy). In
this case, the sticking coefficient is small. In general, the activation energy of
activated adsorption is a function of coverage and it usually increases with increasing
coverage.;
