sorbate
Substance being absorbed
A sorbate is a substance that has been absorbed or adsorbed by another material.
In chemistry, sorbates are molecules taken up by a sorbent—whether into the bulk (absorption) or onto the surface (adsorption).
The term appears in discussions of filtration, gas separation, and environmental remediation: The activated carbon captured the sorbate efficiently.
