The phrase "absorbent capacity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the ability of a material or substance to absorb liquids or other substances.
Example: "The absorbent capacity of the sponge makes it ideal for cleaning up spills quickly."
Alternatives: "absorption ability" or "liquid retention capacity".
However, when the absorbent capacity is large and sample volume is small, the specimen absorbed can be diffusely distributed and specimen recovery becomes problematic [ 21].
The water absorbent capacity enhanced with increasing terminal pH and decreasing PSI concentration.
The effects of reaction variables, such as PSI concentration and terminal pH on the water absorbent capacity have been studied.
In recent years, porous materials with good absorbent capacity, mechanical properties and biocompatibility, has gradually become a research focus in the biomedical fields.
We examined the manual oxygen radical absorbent capacity (ORAC) assay for "total" antioxidant activity, including a direct comparison to an alternative technique, the AOP-490™ assay, using a panel of extracts from 12 phylogenetically unrelated algae.
The main results showed that the MCS/MPVA hydrogels had fast gel-forming rate (complete transformation to gel within 150 s), improved compressive strength at 0.169 ± 0.011 MPa and rapid absorbent capacity.
Hydrogels are natural or synthetic polymer networks that exhibit high water absorbent capacities and have been used as scaffolds for tissue engineering or as delivery carriers for therapeutic agents and cells.
The following absorbent capacities were calculated in highest endotoxin concentration: 5.59 mg/g (Organoclay 1) > 3.97 mg/g (Polymyxin B) > 2.58mg/g (Organoclay 2) > 1.55 mg/g (Bentonite 1) > 1.23 mg/g (Bentonite 2).
With regard to a different experimental set up, to the studies mentioned above, in aqueous solution we could calculate the following absorbent capacities for the highest endotoxin concentration (50,000 EU/mL): 5.59 mg/g (Organoclay 1) > 3.97 mg/g (PMB) > 2.58.mg/g (Organoclay 2) > 1.55 mg/g (Bentonite 1) > 1.23 mg/g (Bentonite 2).
Because of their large absorbing capacity, fuller's earths are also used commercially for preparing animal litter trays and oil and grease absorbents.
Polymeric solids are effective absorbents in two-phase partitioning bioreactors (TPPBs) when they provide adequate absorptive capacity for the target solute, as well as the physical properties required by solid liquid TPPB operations.
