Ethylene oxide removal using zeolites

The conversion of simple organic molecules (e.g. methanol, ethanol or ethylene) can also be monitored by the use of combined TG-DTA. For instance such an analysis, applied to ethylene conversion on the acid form of ZSM-5, enabled the transformation to be interpreted in terms of five different reaction steps [25]. Another example of thermal analysis application to the study of the development of a catalyzed reaction is the use of isothermal TG for investigating the kinetics of coke deposition in inner or external zeolitic sites and its subsequent removal by oxidation in air [25].
