Adsorption is the accumulation of substances on the surface of another, without going inside.

ABSORPTION:
i) The concentration of solute is uniform distributed all over the surface.
  Eg., cotton dipped in ink is blue throughout.            
It is a bulk phenomenon.

ADSORPTION:
i) The concentration of substance is more on surface and less in the bulk.
Eg., chalk dipped in ink is blue on the surface and white in bulk.
It is a surface phenomenon.
