Imbibition is an adsorption phenomenon.
Explanation:
- The adsorption of water by the solid particles of an adsorbent causing it to enormously increase in volume without forming a solution is called imbibition.
- Solid substances or adsorbents which take part in imbibition are called imbibants, e.g., seeds, dry wood. Imbibition is a special type of diffusion that takes place when water is adsorbed by solids-colloids causing an increase in volume.
- Examples include the absorption of water by seeds and dry wood. A gradient between the absorbent and the liquid is essential for imbibition.
