چکیده
In this work we report the application of a recently developed experimental protocol using Pulsed Field Gradient (PFG) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques to simultaneously assess bulk pore and surface diffusion coefficients in liquid saturated porous catalysts. This method has been developed to study solvent effects on the diffusion of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) in mesoporous 1 wt% Pd/Al2O3 catalyst trilobes. The selection of solvents used in this work is known to have a complex effect on reaction rates and hence catalyst performance in heterogeneous liquid phase catalysis. Here, we report the bulk pore and surface diffusion characteristics of MEK, water and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in 1 wt% Pd/Al2O3 catalyst trilobes. The results show that the physicochemical interactions of molecules in the porous catalyst matrix are very different for the different molecules. We also find that the mobility of water appears to be affected strongest by the catalyst surface.

متن کاملLi Dynamics in Amorphous LiNbO3 as Probed by Solid State NMR on Different Length Scales
Long-range Li diffusion parameters of amorphous LiNbO3 are probed by Li two-time spin-alignment echo NMR spectroscopy which is sensitive to slow Li dynamics. The jump rates which were extracted from the spin-alignment echo decay curves exhibit Arrhenius behaviour between 293 K and 413 K. The activation energy (0.41(1) eV) is in good agreement with that of the high-temperature flank of the Li NM...
متن کاملFractal geometry of surface areas of sand grains probed by pulsed field gradient NMR.
Pulsed field gradient NMR self-diffusion studies of water were used to determine surface-to-volume ratios and specific surface areas of the grains forming a glacial sand deposit. Both quantities exhibit a noninteger power-law dependence as a function of the diameters of the grains. The associated fractal dimensions of the surface area ( D(s)) and of the pore volume ( D(v)) are found to be D(s)-...

6Li and 7Li two-time spin-alignment echo NMR correlation functions of single-crystalline LbN are recorded. Around room temperature, the decay of the spin-alignment echo amplitudes is induced by slow Li jumps perpendicular to the LbN layers. The hopping correlation functions can be best represented by a single exponential. The measured jump rates are consistent with those which were previously d...
