English term or phrase: sorb

Contesto:

"Flow-through experiments were used to test the effectiveness of these polymer-nanomagnetite aggregates at immobilising antimony.
To map the antimony distribution and amount **sorbed** to the aggregates, as well as get its oxidation state (which drives antimony immobilisation and removal from the water), synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray micro-fluorescence were used for the first time in such systems."

Merriam Webster spiega:
to sorb: "to take up and hold by either adsorption or absorption" ma non riesco a trovare molte occorrenze di una potenziale traduzione "sorbire" "sorbimento".

Qualche collega ha fonti attendibili?

adsorbire

Explanation:
Treccani:
"In chimica fisica, fissare alla propria superficie molecole in fase gassosa o liquida, riferito a sostanze chimiche, a membrane biologiche, ecc. (v. adsorbimento): sostanze adsorbite, capacità di adsorbire. ◆ Part. pres. adsorbènte, anche come agg. e s. m. (v. la voce). "

Alla voce sopra è esplicitamente riportato il significato in ambito chimico. A mio avviso assorbire e adsorbire sono sinonimi. Sorbire in italiano ha un altro significato anche se è contenuto in "adsorbire".

Notes to answerer

Asker: come evidenziato nella mia domanda, secondo il dizionario MW significa sia assorbire che adsorbire. Può indicare altre fonti oltre la Treccani, che non indica "sorb" in nessun modo?

assorbire / assorbimento

Explanation:
sorption / assorbimento è il concetto superiore

Sorption is a physical and chemical process by which one substance becomes attached to another. Specific cases of sorption are treated in the following articles:

Absorption
"the incorporation of a substance in one state into another of a different state"[1] (e.g., liquids being absorbed by a solid or gases being absorbed by a liquid);
Adsorption
The physical adherence or bonding of ions and molecules onto the surface of another phase (e.g., reagents adsorbed to a solid catalyst surface);
Ion exchange
...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorption

In chimica fisica, l'assorbimento indica il fenomeno per cui si ha il trasferimento di una specie chimica (ovvero uno scambio di materia) da una soluzione sulla superficie di un solido (adsorbimento) o attraverso l'interfaccia di separazione tra due fasi (absorbimento).
