Abstract
The understanding of major zeolite applications is partially based on diffusion of molecules inside or outside microporous networks. However, it is still a challenge to measure such phenomena. The diffusion ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (DOSY) technique has been reported to measure a probe molecule's diffusion inside porous solids. Pulsed-field gradient (PFG)-NMR has been used herein to measure the self-diffusivity of different probe molecules, such as neopentane, benzene, toluene and 1-dodecene with increasing dynamic diameter, respectively, on a series of H-ZSM-5 zeolites. The latter materials exhibit different crystal sizes, Si/Al ratios and the presence (or absence) of crystalline defects. In addition, shaped zeolite bodies representing industrial catalysts were compared with the afore-mentioned samples.
