Heats of adsorption of CO2 on high-silicon zeolites ZSM-5 and silicalite

The heat of adsorption of C0₂on NaZSM-5 at zero occupancy is 50.0 kJ/mole. The differential heats have two linearly descending segments, corresponding to the formation of two types of adsorption complexes with one or two C0₂ molecules, on the average. The heat of adsorption on silicalite coincides with the heat of adsorption of CO₂ on the noncationic segment of the NaZSM-5 zeolite structure (28–29 kJ/mole). The adsorbate-adsorbate interaction forces are not evident on the zeolites up to 1.5 mmole/g occupancy. The isotherms for the adsorption of C0₂ on zeolite NaZSM-5 and silicalite at 303 K in the occupancy region of 0–1.5 and 0–0.5 mmole/g are completely described by VMOT equations.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2636–2638, November, 1989.
