Additional studies have shown that the mobility of TNT degradation products is likely to be lower “than TNT in subsurface environments where specific adsorption to clay minerals dominates the sorption process.” Source: Internet

Other types are the sorption pump and non-evaporative getter pump. Source: Internet

Handles a wide range of pH, redox, solubility and sorption scenarios. Source: Internet

The high pH prevailing in the cement porewater (12.5 < pH < 13.5) limits the mobility of many heavy metals by decreasing their solubility and increasing their sorption onto the cement mineral phases. Source: Internet

Then a sorption pump would be used to bring the pressure down to 10 −4 Torr (10 mPa). Source: Internet
