چکیده

1. Introduction Separation induced by kinetic effects has been investigated, using zeolites as a shape selective adsorbent [1]. The control of diffusion process, requiring a precise knowledge of self-, transport and corrected diffusivities (D self , D t and D C , respectively) of molecules inside the nanoporous material, is essential for the design of industrial applications. In the case of strongly-binding or tight-fitting guest-zeolite systems, residence times in adsorption sites are much longer than travel times between sites so that diffusion becomes a slow activated process. Diffusion can then be viewed as successive random jumps from an adsorption site to another by crossing free energy barriers. Combining Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) algorithm and lattice model is the most adapted technique to study diffusion at finite loadings of poorly connected systems [2]. By its flexibility, it allows to consider different type of sites and to account for their local environment. In this work, we report a study of the loading dependence of single-component diffusion of linear hexane (nC6) and of binary diffusion of nC6 and 2,2-dimethylbutane (22DMB) mixture in MFI-type zeolite at 300K, using a lattice model approach combined with KMC.

Diffusion in confinement: kinetic simulations of self- and collective diffusion behavior of adsorbed gases.

The self- and collective-diffusion behaviors of adsorbed methane, helium, and isobutane in zeolite frameworks LTA, MFI, AFI, and SAS were examined at various concentrations using a range of molecular simulation techniques including Molecular Dynamics (MD), Monte Carlo (MC), Bennett-Chandler (BC), and kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC). This paper has three main results. (1) A novel model for the process...

Modeling Jump Diffusion in Zeolites: II. Applications

We review recent applications of jump models for diffusion in zeolites. We describe the results of a coarse-grained model of the interplay between zeolite anisotropy and disorder, finding that certain disorder patterns can change how anisotropy controls membrane permeation. We show the results of a lattice model for single-file diffusion in zeolite membranes, demonstrating how single-file motio...

Kinetic Monte Carlo Study on Carbon Trapping Effect with Pre-amorphized Silicon

We report our kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) study of the impact of carbon co-implant on the pre-amorphization implant (PAI) process. We employed both BCA (Binary Collision Approximation) approach for the acquisition of the initial as-implant dopant profile and kMC method for the simulation of diffusion process during the annealing process. Our simulation study revealed that carbon coimplant process...

Permeation and Separation Characteristics of Mfi Type Zeolite Membranes on Zirconia Intermediate Layer by Template-free Secondary Growth Method

MFI type zeolite membranes were synthesized on two types of supporting materials, alumina (α-alumina) and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coated alumina. Membranes were prepared by template-free secondary growth method with multiple growth steps in order to minimize intercrystalline gaps. Gas permeation characteristics, thermal and hydrothermal stability for MFI type zeolite membranes were exa...
