Article Synopsis
- Scientists are working on creating new materials to clean natural gas by removing harmful chemicals called aromatic hydrocarbons.
- They made two special kinds of silica that can absorb these chemicals and tested how well they work.
- The researchers checked the materials using different techniques to see how effective they are, especially after being tested in water.
Determination of the molar absorption coefficients of the CH bending mode at ν˜ =1380 cm (ϵ ) of n-hexane adsorbed from the gas phase on two different dealuminated zeolites is derived by a combination of IR spectroscopy and microgravimetric analysis. High-silica zeolite Y (HSZ-Y) and zeolite ZSM-5 (with SiO /Al O ratios of 200 and 280, respectively) with different textural and surface features are selected to evaluate the effect of the pore structure and architecture on the value of ϵ of the adsorbed n-hexane. Experimental data indicate that the molecule experiences a different adsorption environment inside zeolites; thus resulting in a significant change of the dipole moment and very different ϵ values: (0.
