For strongly adsorbed solutes of limited solubility, the value of the amount of adsorbed substance reached in a saturated solution is called the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for a specific solute; its value depends also, in general, on the nature and, in the case of more than two components, on the relative composition of the bulk liquid. 6, record 2, English, - adsorption%20capacity

Dans le cas de solutés de faible solubilité qui sont fortement adsorbés, la valeur limite de la quantité de la substance adsorbée atteinte à l'aide d'une solution saturée se nomme capacité d'adsorption de l'adsorbant pour un soluté donné; en général, sa valeur varie aussi avec la nature et, dans les cas impliquant plus de deux composants, avec la composition relative du mélange liquide. 5, record 2, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20d%27adsorption
