Adsorbent grade resins are chelating resins that remove specific irons from a mixture of ions. It contains high surface area and unique pore structure, which make them suitable for applications such as separation of non-polar organic solutes from polar solvents.

Adsorption filtration equipment is used to remove contaminants from gases and liquids by means of chemical adsorption. It consists of an air-cleaning device that allows a contaminated air stream to pass through layer of solid particles, and an adsorbent bed to absorb pollutant molecules. It is used for the control of organic compounds from exhaust stream that are relatively free of particulate matter. It can also be used for liquid phase and vapor phase adsorber applications.

Adsorption Type Dryers use a desiccant, which adsorbs water vapor in the air stream. Adsorption type dryers consist of two drying towers, each containing an adsorbent, plumbed in parallel. Adsorption type dryers are used as commonly practiced in cryogenic processes.
