Maybe it should be called differently, because it's a physical rather than chemical process. Also categorization is probably bad, but I was trying to be consistent with adsorption. Hope somebody more knowledgeable in physical chemistry will fix this. Samohyl Jan 00:36, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- This process is more associated with chemical engineering than chemistry. It is widely used in industry to scrub exit gasses.
I deleted the link to the Physics Category page as part of the effort to clean up said page. StuTheSheep 03:04, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
Yes, it is a chemistry topic but in modern physical chemistry absorption usually refers the absorption of photons. It may be, as said above, that this is process is more relevent to chemical engineering. Afn 11:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Technical example is incomprehensible
Apparently "The most common application of absorption uses midget impinger with a fritted bubbler." Firstly, this isn't grammatical. Secondly, I had to consult a commercial catalogue to find out what a midget impinger is. Thirdly, I still don't know what a fritted bubbler is after some time searching the net. And I have A-level chemistry.
This is written in jargon, not English, and needs to be rewritten if it is to be any use. Ewjw 08:58, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Consider a link to Industrial Hygiene Sampling
Midget impingers and fritted bubblers are common sampling equipment used by an Industrial Hygienist in evaluating airborne contaminants that can be absorbed in a liquid media.
