Abstract

The adsorption of liquids in 2eolites has been a widely studied phenomenon, and with the development of ZSM-5, considerable work has been carried out on this zeolite, However, few articles have been published dealing with changes in the X-ray diffraction patterns when the zeolite pores contain adsorbed molecules. The purpose of this paper is to report changes in the X-ray diffraction pattern of ZSM-5 after mixing it with various organic solvents.This work began after studies of both deactivated and partially deactivated ZSM-5 catalysts showed that their X-ray diffraction patterns changed in intensities and peak positions after use in microreactor studies. If coke or hydrocarbons were causing the above changes, as postulated, would hydrocarbons adsorbed in ZSM-5 produce the same changes? Simpson and Steinfink showed that the low-angle lines of faujasite decreased in intensity after the adsorption of m-dichlorobenzene.
