Molecular concentration, zeolite shape selectivity

As shown in Figure 1, the equilibrium concentration is affected slightly by temperature (11). The actual concentration is affected by the reaction rate and the initial concentration of each isomer. Deviations beyond equilibrium can be achieved when zeolites are used, owing to shape selectivity (see Molecular sieves). The thermal isomerization of the three xylenes has been studied at 1000°C (12). Side reactions predominated, and only a small percentage of xylenes was interconverted. [Pg.412]

The unique properties of zeolites and other micro- or mesoporous solids that may favour their application to fine chemical synthesis are (1) the compatibility between the size and shape of their channels or cavities with the size of the reactants and/or products (generally referred to as molecular shape selectivity) that may direct the reaction away from the thermodynamically favoured route (2) the occurrence of confinement effects increasing the concentration of reactants near the catalytic sites and (3) the ability to tune their catalytic properties (acidic, basic, or other) via various treatments as described in this Volume. [Pg.254]

As stated above, shape selectivity due to molecular sieving depends on the relative rates of diffusion and reaction, hence on the respective sizes and shapes of molecules and pores and on the characteristics of active sites (e.g. concentration, nature and strength of acid sites). Obviously the diffusion rate, hence the selectivity depend also on the length of the diffusion path (i.e., on the size of the zeolite crystallites). The selectivity of a zeolite catalyst can be optimized by an adequate... [Pg.17]
