Oxygen-selective adsorption on high-silica LTA zeolite

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Sep 22;56(75):11130-11133. doi: 10.1039/d0cc04484a.

Abstract

The adsorption capacity of O2 and N2 on a LTA-type zeolite can be significantly affected by the change of its Si/Al ratio. With the increase in Si/Al ratio and the decrease in the amount of Na+, the protonated high-silica LTA zeolite changes from being a N2-selective sorbent to an O2-selective sorbent to reverse the O2 and N2 selectivity.
