Abstract

Micro-imaging is employed to monitor the evolution of intra-crystalline guest profiles during molecular adsorption and desorption in cation-free zeolites AlPO-LTA. The measurements are shown to provide direct evidence on the rate of intra-crystalline diffusion and surface permeation and their inter-relation. Complemented by PFG NMR and integral IR measurements, a comprehensive overview of the diffusivities of light hydrocarbons in this important type of host materials is provided.
