Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this study is to unravel the influence of single, double and triple bonds in hydrocarbons on the mechanisms of adsorption on zeolites. Therefore, the adsorption of the C2 hydrocarbons ethane, ethene and ethyne on different adsorbents is studied by adsorption calorimetry. As adsorbents pure sodium LTA (NaA) and FAU (NaX) zeolites and calcium exchanged CaNaA and CaNaX zeolites are used. Based on experimental loadings and heat of adsorption, the influence of the number and distribution of cations on different cation positions are discussed in detail. With increasing degree of exchange the increasing number of Ca2+-cations introduce energetically more valuable adsorption sites into the zeolites. On the other hand, the decreasing total number of cations has a negative effect on saturation loading. The impact of these opposing effects and the different occupation of cation positions on the interactions and mechanisms occurring are discussed. The loading increases from ethane to ethene to ethyne and shows higher values on FAU compared to LTA. In terms of interactions, due to the single bond, in ethane only dispersion and induction interactions are formed. In ethene and ethyne due to the double and triple bonds, respectively, additional quadrupole cation and π-interactions occur. In this study, for the first time the formation of a π-complex with Ca2+-cations at position I in LTA and at positions II, III, and III’ in FAU is demonstrated. For ethyne, additional π-complex formation with Na+-cations on the identical positions is also detected, which was previously unknown in literature.
