Abstract
Aside from advection, diffusion and dispersion, which can be formulated separately for the solid and the fluid phases, the interaction between the phases is another process which is relevant in many environmental systems. Under certain conditions, particles in the pore space are attracted by the surface of the porous medium where some chemical processes tend to bind them in various ways. Different processes like electrical attraction and repulsion, complexation or chemical reaction can be distinguished in a detailed look, gathered under the general term sorption.
