ADSORPTION EQUILIBRIA OF XYLENE/TOLUENE ISOMERS ON

KY ZEOLITE UNDER LOW PRESSURE

AbstractThe adsorption equilibria of p-xylene, m-xylene, o-xylene and toluene on KY zeolite
were measured under temperature range (303.15443.15 K) and low pressure (3.472116.6
Pa) by CAHN2000 Electrobalance. All the experimental data obtained in this work can be fitted
as a generalized characteristic curve of Polanyi adsorption potential theory by using the
parameter of the initial heat of adsorption, which is estimated reasonably.
