They all have different properties. Isn't Fuller's Earth a > super-absorbent one (or should that be adsorbent?)? ADSORBTION is chemical binding, ABSORBTION is pore entrapment. Or is it the opposite?

Can be covalent binding, pore entrapment, there are several ways. > I think that young feller Terry de Winne might know something about > enzyme catalysis, don't you Terry, if you're there? Yepp, 'ts about time we hear something from him!
