ABSTRACT Comprehensive experimental data on adsorption in zeolites show an influence of structure. Statistical— thermodynamic approaches consider this, the constants of equations are determined by adaption, according to their physical meaning. Empirical correlations within homologous series of chemical compounds represent im portant characteristics of zeolitic adsorption. All observed phenomena can be explained quantitatively. Introduction Although s c i e n t i f i c and t e c h n i c a l a p p l i c a t i o n o f adsorption has s u p p l i e d us, d u r i n g the l a s t t e n y e a r s , w i t h comprehensive experimental data, we, at present, are f a r from being able to formulate a g e n e r a l l y v a l i d theory o f a d s o r p t i o n on microporous s o l i d bodies. Such a theory e s p e c i a l l y , when i t i s a p p l i e d t o z e o l i t e s , must take i n t o account the following structural characteristics: - separate s o r p t i o n c a v i t i e s , a c c e s s i b l e to adsorbed molecules only by c r o s s i n g an a c t i v a t i o n b a r r i e r - s m a l l s i z e o f the c a v i t i e s , l i m i t i n g the number o f adsorbed molecules t o a few and f o r long-chain p a r a f f i n s ) t o one per c a v i t y , so that the i d e a o f a s p e c i a l adsorbed phase can o n l y be used to a very l i m i t e d extent - h e t e r o g e n e i t y o f the f i e l d o f a d s o r p t i o n i n the c a v i t y , causing the e x i s t e n c e o f s p e c i a l molecular arrangements f o r both non-polar molecules ( p a r a f f i ns) and p o l a r molecules (H 0, ΜΗ3)· An examination o f the fundamentals o f the a c t u a l l y p r e v a i l i n g t h e o r e t i c a l approaches, 2

- the equation of Langmuir [ ] J , - the potential theory of adsorption [2], - the theory of volume f i l l i n g L3], - v i r i a l equations [4,5,6] shows, particularly wifti^regard to molecular sieves, that obviously none of them meets the above-mentioned conditions exactly, A comprehensive theoretical approach could be based i n our opinion, on s t a t i s t i cal thermodynamics. Here we present the f i r s t results of our attempts to derive such an approach* By applying the equations i n a semi-empirical manner we avoid the need for a quantummechanical treatment which i s in principle possible but too d i f f i c u l t for the moment. We present comprehensive experimental material, which we obtained during our research on the adsorption on zeolites of the faujasite type using different classical and modern methods [7,8,9,10]· On the basis of our experiments and the sÎaîistical-thermodynamic approach v/e are able to draw a number of conclusions of a theoretical nature. Experimental Results We investigated the adsorption equilibria of nonpolar, easily polarizable, and polar molecules on zeolites of the types A, X, and Y, which, usually, were not pelletized. Normal-paraffins were chosen as adsorbates because they show the following charact e r i s t i c properties: 1) Carbon-chains of various length permitting us to vary the maximal occupation of one zeolite cavity from ten molecules down to one molecule. 2) P o s s i b i l i t i e s of various conformations leading to new, adapted structures of the adsorbed molecule in the cavity. We further investigated the adsorption of normalolefins, benzene, water, and ammonia [7,1_2]. Figure 1 represents our experimental results on isotherms and isosteres i n a special manner, which in our case represents the data clearly, but may not be appropriate to a l l adsorption systems [13] : the adsorbed quantity a i s plotted against a value ξ , equal to S

A p p l i c a t i o n of the Approaches Equation (14) depends on the constants Nr, S-J , and Ejj , which are superior to v i r i a l c o e f f i c i e n t s i n that the form of t h e i r dependence on pressure and temperature i s known. The dependence of the coverage a on pressure arid temperature i s expressed e x p l i c i t l y by the s u b s t i t u t i o n of equation (13) i n (14). The values of N , S™ . and Ejj are determined i n the f o l l o w i n g two ways! Ό As they have a concrete p h y s i c a l meaning, they may be c a l c u l a t e d from molecular data on the adsor bents. T i l l now we have had such r e l i a b l e mole c u l a r data f o r only a few systems [ 2 2 ] . We do not know the d e v i a t i o n s from i d e a l values f o r most r e a l systems, so that t h i s way may not f r e q u e n t l y be used. We s h a l l not f o l l o w up i t here. 2) Equation (14) i s adapted to the c h a r a c t e r i s t i c p r o p e r t i e s of the z e o l i t e s . It i s p o s s i b l e to deter mine the values of the constants by means of a method of parameter determination using the measured e q u i l i b r i u m data a(p,T). By t h i s procedure, we f i n a l l y can c a l c u l a t e the thermodynamic functions and other c h a r a c t e r i s t i c q u a n t i t i e s such as the d i s t r i b u t i o n functions θ·, Studies about the r e l a t i o n s of the constants within homologous s e r i e s of chemical compounds and f o r d i f f e r e n t types of z e o l i t e s w i l l give us i n s i g h t i n t o the mechanism of adsorption. Ruthven et al_. considered the free volume under van-der^Waals-conditions i n t r o d u c i n g an a d d i t i o n a l c o r r e l a t i o n between the constants . This i s advantageous f o r small molecules, f o r example f o r short-chain n-alkanes. In using a general form of a r e l a t i o n s whose constants are independent on one another, we are able to treat more complicated z e o l i t i c systems. It i s . however, more d i f f i c u l t to obtain the necessary information data.

value corresponding to an ideal structure of the zeolite* The N -values of different types of zeolites d i f f e r i n the same proportion as the theoretical values. The maximal quantity m of molecules, adsorbed i n one cavity, decreases with increasing length of chain. For ja-alkanes above n-C-jQ * the value for m i s 2, the second molecule only enters the cavity at low temperatures and high pressures. Figure 1 shows d i s t i n c t l y that the adsorption range for one molecule per cavity i s well separated from the two-molecules range. For one molecule i n a cavity equation (14) reduces to the Langmuir equation. This i s the reason why, i n this range, the Langmuir equation can be successfully applied to technical processes. For n - C c to S - C 7 : m = 4; we found m = 6 for the representation of the data for methane to propane. The number of values 1 necessary to describe the levels of energy i s equal to one for each coverage of the cavity except i n the case of û-hexane and η-heptane, where we found 1 = 2. We observed, especially for these two hydrocarbons, curved isosteres, referring to temperature-dependent heats of adsorption. The energy constants E display, as figure 2 shows, a nearly linear dependence on the number of the C-atoms of the η-paraffins. This enables us to extrapolate to long-chain η-paraffins for v/hich adsorption data are not available. A linear depen dence could also be found for E^ -values with i > 1. The curve Ej-j = f ( i ) decreases from an i-value, v/hich corresponds to a total number of 12 C-atoms i n the paraffin molecule adsorbed in one cavity. The curve of the entropy constants S°° begins to decrease beyond η-paraffins with more than 12 C-atoms. This tendency becomes very clear for the adsorption of n-octadecane. In these cases, obviously, strong restrictions i n the p o s s i b i l i t y of display of various conformations are dominating. At high temperatures Τ ( R T » / E J : / ) , the influence of the energy constants Ε,.· on equation (14) and that of Ep on ξ disappear. N and S~ , therefore, alone permit calculation of the temperature-independent curve a=f(Ç) i n figure 1. This shows once more that this curve especially represents the entropie factor of the z e o l i t i c adsorption. The values of S°° determine the character of a=f(Ç), especially in the range of low coverages a. They, therefore, are directly responsible for the shift of the exponential part of the curve i n figure 1 to the right with

represented i n a form which allows us to notice the influence of the adsorbent structure. The basic approaches of the s t a t i s t i c a l thermodynamics, considering the principal features of z e o l i t i c sorption, are developed i n a simplified form so that their application becomes possible. The physically established constants are determined by application to experimental data. States of different energy l e v e l , molecular transitions, processes of reorganization of adsorbed molecules and maxima i n the curves of heats of adsorption are explained. A l l observed phenomena can be treated quantitatively. A further development of these approaches seems possible. Nomenclature a, a(p,T) E
