Microdynamics of methane, ethane and propane in ZSM-5 type zeolites

Abstract
The n.m.r. pulsed field-gradient technique has been used to study systematically the intracrystalline self-diffusion of methane, ethane and propane in ZSM-5. In conjunction with the information obtained from nuclear magnetic relaxation studies the elementary steps of diffusion are found to be activated jumps between the channel intersections. Only for sorbate concentrations > 2.5 molecules per intersection is a decrease in the jump lengths observed. The results are compared with alkane self-diffusion measurements in zeolites A and X, as well as with the self-diffusion of water in ZSM-5 and zeolites A and X.
