Abstract

AbstractThe adsorption of ethylene (C2H4) from a mixture simulating the products obtained during the oxidative coupling of CH4 using a commercial molecular sieve (MOS) is investigated. A joint experimental and theoretical approach has been employed. The adsorbent's trapping capacity decreases at higher temperatures, while the breakpoint time drops when the inlet C2H4 concentration increases. The Dubinin‐Radushkevich isotherm model can better describe the adsorption of C2H4 onto the MOS. Pore diffusion is the rate‐determining step given that the Bangham's kinetic model was the more suitable for this adsorption process. Finally, the low activation energy obtained corroborates the predominance of physical adsorption.
