Modeling of Nitrogen Adsorption Process in a 5A Zeolite Pellet

Article Preview

Abstract:

A zeolite pellet is formed by binding large numbers of small crystals with microporous material. The adsorption properties of a zeolite pellet depend on its micro-structure. In this paper, two physical models of a 5A zeolite pellet with the crystals dispersed or clustered are established. Mathematical models to describe nitrogen diffusion and adsorption occurred inside the pellet are proposed. The N2 adsorption properties on pellets with different micro-structure are compared. Very detailed results regarding the effects of the crystal fraction, crystal distribution are revealed.
