Pseudo-Restricted Self-Diffusion of Molecules in Biporous Structures: Study by Pulsed Field Gradient NMR

The mobility of liquid (n-decane) that fills the system of primary and secondary pores of a biporous sample (granular Vycor porous glass) is studied by the pulsed field gradient NMR technique. The anomalous time dependence of the slow component of diffusion decay is revealed: the self-diffusion coefficient decreases with an increase in diffusion time t_d and, at large t_d values, this dependence satisfies the feature of completely restricted self-diffusion. It is established that this component is related to the mobility of liquid molecules filling the system of primary pores. By use of computer simulation, it is shown that the effect of “pseudo-restricted” diffusion is explained by the exchange processes between the phases, where the molecules of the liquid that are present in the systems of primary and secondary pores and differ in self-diffusion coefficients are understood as the phases. The effect of interfacial exchange is confirmed by the time dependence of the fraction of molecules with the lowest self-diffusion coefficients. The revealed phenomenon of “pseudo-restricted” diffusion is not related to real spatial constraints and can be observed in any systems with two (or more) phases with different self-diffusion coefficients, provided that these “phases” are bulky and can be subjected to molecular exchange.

Synthesis of Zeolite ZSM-2 Using Zeolite NaX as Seeds

Introduction Oxygen and nitrogen have been produced tradition-ally by cryogenic distillation of air. Methods for the non-cryogenic separation based on selective adsorption have been developed and commercialized since the 1970s and have led to a cost-effective process for this important separation.1 Low-silica zeolites are important materials for producing oxygen by selective adsorption of nitrogen. In 19891990, a new generation of lith-ium-based adsorbents was developed.2,3 Highly lithium exc…     

Permeation through a single crystal of Zeolite NaX

Steady state permeation through a 120 μm single crystal of zeolite NaX has for the first time been observed. Each crystal was imbedded in an epoxy film, polished to expose opposite faces to feed and permeate gases, and mounted in an apparatus with pmol/s permeation rate sensitivity. Permeation was constrained to occur by an intracrystalline diffusion mechanism, confirmed by temperature dependence and selectivity measurements. Rates decreased at higher temperatures due to opposing sorption and diffusion effects. Intracrystalline butane diffusivity at 25°C was 3 x 10^?4 cm²/sec, in agreement with other methods. Anomalously long time lags for approach to steady state are explained by a transition between two states of the zeolite, differing in permeability by 10²-10⁴. The state with lower permeability was selectively permeable to isobutane from a methaneísobutane mixture.     

The Potentials of Pulsed Field Gradient NMR for Investigation of Porous Media

PFG NMR self-diffusion studies provide information on the translational mobility of fluid molecules. Since in porous media the diffusion path of fluid molecules in the pore space is affected by interaction with the pore wall, PFG NMR measurements are sensitive to structural peculiarities of the confining porous medium. The pore space properties which can be investigated depend on length scales set by the PFG NMR experiment in respect to the typical size of the structural feature studied. Based upon these length scales, an interpretation pattern for PFG NMR self-diffusion studies in porous media is given. PFG NMR self-diffusion studies in macro- and microporous systems such as sedimentary rocks and zeolite crystallites, respectively, are reviewed.     

A Direct NMR Method To Measure Self-Diffusion Coefficients in Liquids by Monitoring Diffusing Molecules through One-Dimensional Imaging

Diffusion processes can be followed directly by recording one-dimensional images of a selected slice at variable intervals after selective inversion of the magnetization. The resulting diffusion coefficients of H₂O and DMSO are consistent with earlier studies at different temperatures, obtained by monitoring the attenuation of NMR signals as a function of the gradient amplitude in gradient echo sequences.

Molecular Mobility in a Poly(ethylene glycol)–Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Blends: Study by the Pulsed Gradient NMR Techniques

The molecular mobility in PEG–PVP blends as a function of the time of system storage and the PVP molecular mass is studied by the pulsed-field gradient NMR method. The distribution of PEG molecules over their mobilities is found in a blend containing 36 vol % of PEG with the molecular mass of 400 g/mol. As the storage time of the system increases, the spectrum of diffusion coefficient values varies, thereby indicating the redistribution of PEG400 molecules in the blend with PVP. An anomalous (partly restricted) diffusion of PEG400 molecules is discovered, reflecting the influence of PVP macromolecules on the motion of short PEG chains. It is shown that, during the redistribution of PEG molecules in the blend, they are involved in a complex with PVP, which is characterized by its own transport properties. The data obtained by the NMR relaxation technique are in agreement with the results of NMR diffusion measurements in the studied systems.     

1H NMR Self-Diffusion Study of Morphology and Structure of Polyvinyl Alcohol Cryogels

The multicomponent self-diffusion of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cryogels prepared by a freezing-thawing treatment of aqueous and water-DMSO solutions of PVA has been studied with the NMR FT-PGSE method. The temperature dependencies of the self-diffusion coefficients, Ds, for the PVA chains have a maximum at 45 degrees C due to the syneresis of cryogels. They are quite different from the monotonous increase of Ds for the aqueous solutions of PVA. Evaluated apparent activation energies, Ea, of the self-diffusion for the PVA chains in the PVA solutions and cryogels in D2O are practically the same and equal 22-24 kJ/mol below the crucial point. The proton spin-lattice relaxation times, T1, of the PVA chain also coincide with one another for solutions and cryogels. This means that molecular packing in cryogels depends mainly on the dimensions of the ice and polymer microcrystallites formed by freezing the solution. Above the crucial point polymer compartments become firmer, and the chain mobility somewhat reduces. The strength of cryogels also increases along with growing the DMSO contents and decreases by the BSA addition. For estimation of the cryogel morphology, effects of the restricted diffusion of both the water and PVA in a q-space have been taken into account. By the introduction of DMSO to cryogels the solvent filled pores become smaller, and channels become much shorter. The diameter of the PVA filaments is similar to those for all the cryogels, but the length of filaments with D2O is twice that for cryogels with a mixed solvent. Entrapment of BSA in the cryogel matrix by preparation leads to the increase of an average diameter of the water filled pores and destroys molecular packing the cryogel.

Influence of Traces of Water on Adsorption and Diffusion of Hydrocarbons in NaX Zeolite

Measurements have been performed on the influence of a small amount of water on adsorption properties of alkanes (C₃ to C₆) and olefins (C₃ and C₄) in NaX zeolite. Adsorption capacity and heat of adsorption have been measured by a Volume Step method. Kinetics has been measured by Thermal Frequency Response method and the results have been compared with the results obtained by PFG-NMR.It has been found that water reduces the adsorption capacity especially at low adsorbate concentration. The heat of adsorption is slightly reduced by water. The kinetics of alkanes is always reduced by the adsorbed water. On the contrary, the diffusion kinetics of olefins is improved or remains unchanged, depending of the sorbat concentration.

1H MAS NMR investigations of ethylene glycol adsorbed in NaX

The application of 1H MAS NMR allows a detailed study of the behavior of ethylene glycol adsorbed in NaX zeolites which may be used to understand the effect of confinement. Typical changes in the chemical shift values for the CH2 and OH groups were found which are very sensitive to interactions between the molecules and the internal surfaces. This allows clear differentiation between molecules within the zeolite cages and those adsorbed at the outer surface of the zeolite grains and also allows study of the dynamics of the different species. Selective 1H T1 measurements were carried out for various pore-filling degrees where large differences were found in the thermal mobility. It is shown that for the molecules inside the supercages, a dynamic heterogeneity occurs which may be related to the competing influences of molecule-internal surface interactions and molecule-molecule interactions within a network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

Investigation of the Interactions of Polyvinylpyrrolidone with Mixtures of Anionic and Nonionic Surfactants or Anionic and Zwitterionic Surfactants by Pulsed Field Gradient NMR

The interaction of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), a nonionic surfactant (pentaethylene glycol monodecyl ether, C(10)E(5)), and a zwitterionic surfactant (lauryl amido propyl betaine, LAPB) has been investigated by means of pulsed gradient spin-echo NMR (FT-PGSE NMR), allowing self-diffusion coefficients to be determined. The results confirm the strong interaction prevailing in the PVP/SDS system, whereas no association has been observed in the PVP/C(10)E(5) and PVP/LAPB systems. Mixing PVP with two surfactants, namely SDS and C(10)E(5) or SDS and LAPB, results in the formation of ternary aggregates between the polymer and the mixed micelles.
