The dense-structured zeolites of types ZSM-5 (MFI) and mordenite (MOR) of different SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 moduli are relatively stable under treatment by liquid water for 72 hours up to 513 K. The open-structured zeolites of types Y in dealuminated modification (FAU) and beta (BEA) undergo strong decomposition in the same range. For these two sample types a mathematical model for the decomposition of the zeolite framework is established that takes into account the influence of modulus as well as temperature. Here the kinetic of the solid phase reaction is a superposition of two different mechanisms described by the Monod equation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
