Dm. Ruthven et Bk. Kaul, ADSORPTION OF N-HEXANE AND INTERMEDIATE MOLECULAR-WEIGHT AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS ON LAY ZEOLITE, Industrial & engineering chemistry research, 35(6), 1996, pp. 2060-2064
Experimental equilibrium isotherms, Henry's law constants, and heats o
f sorption are reported for n-hexane, benzene, toluene, p-xylene, mesi
tylene, naphthalene, trimethylbenzene (TMP), and hexamethylbenzene (HM
B) in La-exchanged zeolite Y (Si/Al = 1.8). Henry's law constants and
energies of adsorption are substantially smaller than those for NaX ze
olite, reflecting the absence of accessible cations in LaY. These data
provide a basis for the estimation of adsorbed phase concentrations o
f the relevant hydrocarbons on REY cracking catalysts under reaction c
onditions.
