Confinement in micropores and enthalpies of physisorption

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

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.

Sorption of argon and nitrogen on network types of zeolites and aluminophosphates

Abstract Synthetic zeolites and aluminophosphates comprising 10- and 12- membered ring openings, unidimensional and network type of pore systems (MFI, MEL, ERI, LTA, AEL, AFI and FAU) were used as model adsorbents to examine the impact of micropore structure on the sorption properties. Argon and nitrogen were employed as adsorptives. Adsorption measurements were carried out on gravimetric and volumetric sorption devices and also monitored by microcalorimetry. From the low coverage regime of the isotherm Henry's constants and isosteric heats of adsorption were derived. Both quantities allowed the discrimination between 10- and 12- membered ring systems. Unidimensional 10- and 12- membered ri…
