‘‘Two-step’’ model of molecular diffusion in silicalite
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of the particle ‘‘memory’’ on long-range diffusion in the channel network of silicalite is taken into account by considering pairs of subsequent steps between the channel intersections. It is shown that in this case the correlation rule between the principal elements of the diffusion tensor has to be modified by including an additional term, which takes account of the deviation of molecular propagation from complete randomness. The obtained relations are discussed in terms of molecular dynamics simulations of ethane in silicalite. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~99!50401-7#

Molecular dynamics studies of straight-chain alkanes diffusion in SiO2 ceramic versus Bosanquet formula
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were applied to calculate self-diffusion coefficients (Di ) and heats of adsorption for ethane, propane and n-butane. The simulations were done in temperature range of 300-525 K for various concentrations inside the pores of silicalite type zeolite. The calculated values of self-diffusion coefficients and heats of adsorption resulted from the current wo...

1. Introduction Zeolites are microporous materials which are ideally suited for different industrial applications, e.g. as separators or catalysts. Their applicability is determined by the dynamical and the adsorptive properties of the molecules inside their micropores. Adsorption kinetics in zeolite has been explained as a two-step process, adsorption on the external crystal surface and subseq...

متن کاملCapturing the Concentration Dependence of trans-2-Butene Diffusion in Silicalite-2 Zeolite with a Jump Diffusion Model
Molecular dynamics simulations of the diffusion of trans-2-butene in zeolite type MEL at 623 K have revealed an initial increase of the self-diffusivity with increasing loading, in contrast to simulation data collected for the other butene isomers. This is usually the signature of repulsive guest-guest interactions. At higher loadings, however, the concentration dependence was shown to decrease...
