Preferred Label : non-specific adsorption;
IUPAC definition : Ions approach an interface differently depending on the forces in play. Ions are non-specifically
adsorbed (positively or negatively) when they are subjected in the interphase only
to long-range coulombic interactions (attraction or repulsion). They are believed
to retain their solvation shell, and in the position of closest approach to the interface
they are separated from it by one or more molecular layers.;
