Description

Pentasil high silica zeolites (ZSM-5, ZSM-11) and their structural analog boron zeotypes (ZSM5-B, ZSM11-B) and Al-free silicates have been examined for the sorption of liquid n-hexane and cyclohexane by thermogravimetric constant coverage method. Effect of adsorbates on the framework topology and unit cell dimensions were also studied. The cell volume of boron-substituted samples were found to be significantly smaller than Al-substituted. Crystallinity of the samples were estimated from the framework of IR spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and adsorption of n-hexane techniques. (author)
