- The rate of desorption of the gas from the catalyst was found to be dependent on the surface area of the catalyst.
- The desorption of the contaminant from the surface of the material was achieved through the use of a solvent.
- The process of desorption was studied using a technique that measured the amount of gas released from the surface over time.
- The desorption of the adsorbed molecules from the surface of the material was a critical step in the regeneration of the catalyst.
