Adsorption phenomena at high pressures and temperatures 1. Method of investigation; adsorption of nitrogen on NaA zeolite

A simple precision volumetric-gravimetric setup was elaborated and created for determining the equilibrium and kinetic parameters of adsorption in the 1–160 MPa pressure range and the 300–600 K temperature range. The isotherms of adsorption of nitrogen on crystalline NaA zeolite in the indicated temperature and pressure range were measured. A method was proposed for determining the pore volume of zeolites based on conducting adsorption measurements at high pressures of the gas phase. The isosteric heats of adsorption of nitrogen on NaA zeolite at 305, 334, and 373 K were estimated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1233–1238, June, 1990.
