Table 1. Adsorption parameters for cyclohexanol uptake from aqueous solutions into three zeolites (denoted with the respective Si/Al ratio).*.
| Zeolite | Kads°† | qmax‡ (mmol g−1) | ΔHads° (kJ mol−1) | ΔSads° (J mol−1 K−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.
