The authors evaluate the contribution of different factors to the adsorption kinetics in determining the intracrystalline diffusion coefficients from adsorption-kinetic measurements. Estimated calculations of the effect of diffusion in transport pores and the final rate of dissipation of the heat of adsorption on the kinetics of adsorption of n-butane by CaA zeolite are reported. It was concluded that in the adsorption of n-butane by CaA zeolite from a one-component gas phase, the relative role of diffusion in transport pores decreases with an increase in the degree of filling, and the role of the thermal component increases. It was also shown that the contribution of the thermal component increases with a decrease in the size of the adsorbent granule, and when the thickness of the plate is 2 /SUB L/ <0.01 cm, the adsorption kinetics are basically determined by the rate of dissipation of the heat of adsorption with all degrees of filling studied.
