title: Statistical interpretation of the kinetic equation in the adsorption problem.
abstract: A statistical interpretation for the adsorption phenomenon is presented in the framework of the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics. A model for an adsorbing surface is proposed and the connection between the phenomenological parameters, entering in the kinetic equation at the boundary surfaces, with the microscopic model is derived.
