Radiation adsorption

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009817",
  "term": "Radiation adsorption",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The absorption of radiation by a material, wrongly written as adsorption, since radiation is absorbed and not adsorbed on a surface. The properly named process is radiation-induced adsorption, in which a molecule becomes bound at a solid or liquid interface after the adsorbent absorbs high-energy radiation. Photocatalysis terminology flags the combination as misleading.",
  "synonyms": [
    "radiation-induced adsorption",
    "radioadsorption"
