Adsorption
The process of interaction between the solute and the surface of an adsorbent. The forces involved can be strong (for example, hydrogen bonds) or weak (van der Waals forces). For silica gel, the silanol group is the driving force for adsorption, and any solute functional group that can interact with this group can be retained by liquid-solid chromatography on silica.
