Sorption experiments carried out over a temperature range of -60 to 70/sup 8/C found sorption affinities in the order Ar par. delta O/sub 2/ << N/sub 2/ < NO < CO for both hydrogen mordenite (H-M) and hydrogen ZSM-5 (H-ZSM-5). In terms of the gas sorbability, H-M falls between Na-M and K-M, while H-ZSM-5 ranks below Cs-M. The isosteric heats of sorption, q/sub st/(kcal mol/sup -1/), of Ar, O/sub 2/, N/sub 2/, NO, and CO are 4.3, 4.4, 5.6, 5.6, and 6.9 for H-M and 3.5, 3.6, 4.3, 4.4, and 5.1 for H-ZSM-5 at the coverage, theta, of 0.02. The value of q/sub st/ of CO for a series of sodium hydrogen mordenites (NaH-M) increases with an S-shape curve with an increase in the Na content. The sums of the energies of dispersion and repulsion (E/sub D/ + E/sub R/) were calculated for H-M, H-ZSM-5, and three kinds of hypothetical zeolites having 8- to 12-membered-ring channels and compared with each other. It was concluded that the E/sub D/ + E/sub R/ values are strikingly affected by the size and shape of the zeolite channel. Comparison of the E/sub D/ + E/sub R/ values with the q/sub st/ of Ar sorbed by H-ZSM-5 suggests that the effective electric charge of the framework oxygen in H-ZSM-5 is clearly smaller than that in H-M.
