Zeolites: Superior Mass Transfer Properties of Technical Zeolite Bodies with Hierarchical Porosity (Adv. Funct. Mater. 2/2014) (original) (raw)

This research investigates the diffusion of the branched alkane 2,2-dimethylbutane in desilicated ZSM-5 zeolite powders and shaped bodies, aiming to quantify mass transfer improvements through hierarchical porosity compared to conventional zeolite powders. The study employs a gravimetric method to assess the influence of shaping methods and binder materials on the mass transfer properties of zeolites while examining the effects of macroporosity and zeolite-binder interactions on adsorption behavior.
