Abstract

The equilibrium adsorption of the light alkanes methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, and i-butane in silicalite-1 has been investigated using the TEOM technique. Either a conventional or a dual-site Langmuir isotherm appropriately describes the equilibrium data. Good agreement with the literature data determined by other techniques indicates the TEOM is a reliable technique. The adsorption of i-butane in silicalite-1 reveals the discrete preferential molecular siting, implying a discrete-dual-structural heterogeneity for light alkanes in silicalite-1.
