He stood on the pier, absorbed in thought, watching the ships come and go.

During the workshop, he absorbed every detail of the demonstration.

The lab ordered several absorbants to clean up the chemical spill.

The chemist analyzed the absorbates collected from the porous membrane to determine their composition.

The lab measured the absorbancies of several new materials to determine which would be best for oil cleanup.

After the experiment, the scientist carefully analyzed the absorbate left on the filter.

Before approving them for medical use, the lab tested several absorbables for biodegradability.

The research paper compared the absorbences of different sponge materials under varied temperatures.

The new absorbative sponge quickly cleaned up the spilled coffee without leaving a stain.

Despite repeated washings, the stain absorbeated into the fabric and refused to disappear.
