Short Answer

Solution

Negative adsorption is when the concentration of the adsorbate is less on the surface of the adsorbent than in its bulk. This means fewer particles accumulate on the surface compared to inside the adsorbent. Negative adsorption occurs during sorption when absorption dominates over adsorption.
