Sorption and diffusion of oxygen and nitrogen in molecular sieve RS-10

Abstract

Henry's law constants and intracrystalline diffusivities of oxygen and nitrogen in molecular sieve RS-10 have been measured by the pulse chromatographic method. Both moment analysis and time domain fitting of the experimental response curves give consistent results. Heats of adsorption and activation energies have been determined from the equilibrium and kinetic measurements carried out at different temperatures.
