Molecular insights into preferential adsorption of N2 from the air on Zeolite 13X
Abstract: Zeolites are a class of microporous materials frequently used for separations in liquid and gas phase systems. For instance, zeolite X is utilised in medical oxygen concentrators (MOCs) to separate nitrogen from ambient air, and as a consequence to produce an oxygen-rich steam leaving the machine. The demand for this apparatus in the recent years has increased exponentially due to the oxygen therapy prescribed to patients suffering from life-threatening lung diseases that cause shortness of breath such as COVID-19 and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. This neutron study aims to investigate how the preferential adsorption of nitrogen from air on zeolite X proceeds at the molecular scale. Understanding this process will direct conscious tailored design of optimised separation solutions.
