Sorption and Diffusion Properties of H- and Modified Forms of ZSM-5 Zeolites

The sorption properties of samples of H-ZSM-5 zeolite and their forms modified with P, B and Mg were determined by the physical adsorption of nitrogen and evaluated by BET isotherm and t-plot methods. The diffusivities of the samples were measured using a new flow gravimetric method involving the so...

description The sorption properties of samples of H-ZSM-5 zeolite and their forms modified with P, B and Mg were determined by the physical adsorption of nitrogen and evaluated by BET isotherm and t-plot methods. The diffusivities of the samples were measured using a new flow gravimetric method involving the sorption of p- and o -xylenes. The BET specific surface area decreased from 358 m 2 /g to 35–90 m 2 /g mainly because of a decrease in micropore volume as determined by the t-plot method. The rate of sorption of p -xylene on all the samples investigated followed Fick's second law of diffusion, leading to an effective diffusivity of ca. 1.7 × 10 −11 m 2 /s, irrespective of whether the H-form or the modified forms were investigated. The sorption isotherms for o -xylene showed some unusual steps. Values for the effective diffusivities decreased from 2.6 × 10 −12 m 2 /s for the H-form to 2.0–2.3 × 10 −12 m 2 /s for the modified forms. The equilibrium concentration of o -xylene at P/P 0 = 0.1 was only 0.38–0.68 mol/unit cell, while that of p -xylene was 4.40–5.98 mol/unit cell.
