Abstract
Adsorption and desorption behaviors of ammonia on the zeolites were investigated using the pressure-swing method to utilize the ammonia adsorbent at 473 K. For various (Y, A, L, and mordenite) types of zeolites, the effects of their pore sizes, countercation species, and number of adsorption sites on the ammonia adsorption behavior were evaluated. The adsorption capacity increased with increasing the pore size. The differences in the countercation species and the number of adsorption sites contributed to the ammonia adsorption process on the zeolites. Sodium cations strongly adsorb ammonia molecules. The adsorption/desorption of ammonia expanded and shrunk the zeolite crystal, suggesting that the pores in the zeolite were enlarged by the adsorption of ammonia molecules. Despite repetitive lattice expansion and shrinkage, the morphologies of the zeolite particles were not degraded. These results confirm that the zeolite showed high durability for the adsorption and desorption of ammonia at 473 K.
