General approach to processing of kinetic adsorption data. But-1-ene + zeolite NaH-Y system

Abstract

The isothermal rate equation of adsorption has been modified and solved numerically. Its three parameters were evaluated from the nonlinear regression using the CERN-library programs. The kinetic data for the but-1-ene + zeolite NaH-Y system, which caused discontinuities in the Elovich plots, were successfully fitted to the proposed equation. The physical meaning of this equation and its parameters are discussed on the basis of the same experimental data. Some suggestions about the but-1-ene transformation mechanism are made.
