Physical adsorption occurs due to weak Van der Waals forces between the adsorbate and adsorbent molecules. It is reversible in nature and occurs at low temperature and high pressure. However, with an increase in temperature, the kinetic energy of adsorbate molecules increases, making it difficult for them to get adsorbed on the adsorbent surface. Hence, physical adsorption decreases with an increase in temperature.
