Table 1. Adsorption parameters for cyclohexanol uptake from aqueous solutions into three zeolites (denoted with the respective Si/Al ratio).*.

Zeolite Kads° qmax (mmolg1) ΔHads° (kJmol1) ΔSads° (Jmol−1K−1) Θ§
MFI45 1,582 (192) 0.66 –30 –55 0.60–0.69
BEA75 580 (140) 1.60 –22 –25 0.77–0.81
FAU30 51 (67) 1.45 +4 +47 0.96–0.97

*Adsorption constants were derived from the slope of the linearized Langmuir isotherm, standard molar enthalpy changes of cyclohexanol adsorption were determined by microcalorimetry (<60% of the saturation uptake) and variable-temperature isotherm measurements and standard molar entropy changes were obtained from ΔGads°=−RT lnKads°=ΔHads°−TΔSads° that relates all thermodynamic quantities. Standard states for aqueous and adsorbed molecules are 1 mol l−1 and intrazeolitic void occupancy=1, respectively.

Adsorption constants at 280 K (outside the brackets) and 333 K (in the brackets).

Saturation uptake at 298 K.

§Predicted fractional uptake (q/qmax) at 423–443 K, 0.33 M aqueous solution of cyclohexanol.
