Notes:
An analysis of gas chromatography pulse dispersion data for the system n-butane/zeolite NaY is presented. The data were analyzed in terms of two models, an intracrystalline diffusion limiting model and a surface barrier model. Both models provided acceptable fits to the pulse dispersion data; however, the temperature dependence of the apparent mass transport parameters strongly suggests that a surface barrier is responsible for the observed transport resistance. The Henry's law constants were independent of choice of model and the isosteric heat of sorption was consistent with literature values.
