Enhancement of D 2 /H 2 Selectivity in Zeolite A through Partial Na–K Exchange: Single-Gas and Coadsorption Studies at 45–77 K
2020
International audience; We report D2/H2 adsorption selectivities under cryogenic temperatures (45-77 K) in Na and K-Na exchanged zeolites A (LTA structural code) measured by co-adsorption technique. These values are systematically compared with Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) predictions based on the single gas adsorption isotherms. For NaA zeolite the evolution of the selectivity as a function of total pressure and gas mixture composition at 77 K shows ideal behavior. In contrast, as temperature decreases, D2/H2 selectivity rises exponentially and its values can no longer be predicted by IAST. We found that in these conditions the evolution of the selectivity can be described by a si…
Quantum Mechanical Co-Adsorption Modelling of Real Electrically Controlled Semiconductor Gas Sensors
2009
Abstract Co-adsorption of several gases is still a challenge due to the variety of reaction paths at the sensitive surface, and their competition for the adsorption sites. With an extended Wolkenstein model and the gas kinetic theory, we find that for specific paths their sequence of exposition has an important influence on the layer resistance as well as on the time required to achieve equilibrium. Whilst only processes that involve charge transfer can be electrically detected, a good correlation between model and electrical measurements needs weakly chemisorbed (physisorbed) layers to be taken in account. Our study presents a SnO2 nano-film sensor with electrical control electrodes expose…
