Abstract

The adsorption properties of nitrogen monoxide (NO) on various silver ion-exchanged zeolites were examined by adsorption−desorption measurements in a fixed bed flow apparatus. Both reversible (qrev) and irreversible (qirr) adsorption of NO is dependent on the aluminum content in the zeolites and the zeolite structure. The amounts of reversible and irreversible adsorption of NO per silver ion increased with decreasing aluminum content of the zeolites and were constant, independent of the ion exchange level for ZSM-5 zeolites, but increased with the ion exchange level for mordenite zeolites (MOR). It was also found that the adsorption properties are dependent on the temperature and pressure of adsorption: qirr and qrev of Ag-MOR increased with decreasing adsorption temperature and increasing adsorption pressure. Furthermore, the influence of preadsorbed gases on the Ag-MOR zeolite was investigated, and an enhancement of qrev was observed when NO2 was preadsorbed. The NO species adsorbed on the Ag-MOR zeolite were characterized by infrared (IR). Most of the reversibly adsorbed NO species are NOδ+ and some N2O adsorbed on Ag+, and the irreversibly adsorbed NO species are some N2O, NOδ+, and a small amount of NOδ-, NO2δ+.
