Confinement in micropores and enthalpies of physisorption
1994
Abstract The use of quasi-equilibrium volumetry associated with isothermal microcalorimetry at 77 K allows direct measurement of the interactions on adsorption of simple probe molecules within well crystallised aluminophosphate and zeolite molecular sieves. Four particular cases are presented which show: the effect of varying micropore diameter, the effect of adsorbing molecules with a favourable geometric compatibility with a given micropore system, the effect of varying the field potential within a given micropore system and finally, the effect of variable selective blocking of the micropore system.
A microcalorimetric study of the different states of argon and nitrogen adsorbed AT 77 K on silicalite-I and ZSM-5
1992
The adsorption of argon and nitrogen on a series of MFI-type zeolites (silicalite-I (Si/Al>1000) and HZSM-5 (16<Si/Al<120)) was studied by isothermal microcalorimetry, volumetry and neutron diffraction.
Investigation on the Adsorption of N2 Ar, CO and CH4 on Aluminophosphates
1994
Abstract Adsorption isotherms at different temperatures and isothermal micro-calorimetric curves were measured for N2 Ar, CO, and CH4 on various molecular sieves as VPI-5, MCM-9, AlPO4-8, AlPO4-H, AlPO4-5, SAPO-5, AlPO4-39, AlPO4-C. It was shown that the isosteric heats of adsorption correlated with the pore-sizes of the studied molecular sieves.
MCM-41 and related materials as media for controlled polymerization processes
1994
The synthesis of mesoporous MCM-41 type materials based on transition metal oxides and the polymerization of several monomers within MCM-41 is presented with the aim to specifically investigate the effects of the interface and confinement on host-guest interactions. In addition to standard MCM-41, material based on transition metal oxides is obtained although template removal has been unsuccessful for such compounds until now. In situ polymerization of styrene, methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate is possible within the mesopore system. The properties of some of the encapsulated polymers differ markedly with those obtained in the bulk.
Water Sorption on Mesoporous Aluminosilicate MCM-41
1995
Characterization of the interaction of water with the highly ordered mesoporous solid MCM-41 (pore diameter ∼2.5 nm) is undertaken with the aid of several techniques (adsorption gravimetry, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and controlled rate-evolved gas analysis). The relatively complex water-MCM-41 interactions are characterized by a type V isotherm indicating an initial repulsive character followed by a capillary condensation step of the adsorbate. This highlights both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of this potential model mesoporous adsorbent.
A microcalorimetric comparison of the effect ofn-alkane preadsorption on the adsorption of argon and nitrogen on Silicalite-I
1994
Then-alkanes of different lengths were preadsorbed to selectively block part of the micropores of a MFI-type zeolite, Silicalite-I. The porosity available to argon and nitrogen was then studied by quasi-equilibrium adsorption microcalorimetry and volumetry at 77K and compared to what was found for the bare zeolite. Indeed, although partial adsorption ofn-alkanes does not alter the value of the differential enthalpies of adsorption for both argon and nitrogen, then-butane preadsorption diminishes the adsorption capacity by inducing inaccessible volumes in the micropore network. Moreover, the microcalorimetric experiments clearly show thatn-butane is not evenly distributed in the zeolite chan…
