Standard zeolites 4A and 13X have been synthesized and modified by reaction with dimethoxydimethylsilane, propyltrimethoxy silane, octyltrimethoxy silane and octadecyltrimethoxy silane, respectively. Themodified zeolites were analyzed by X-Ray diffractometry, FTIR spectrometry and water adsorptionmeasurements. Results showed that silane molecules bonded to the external surface of zeolite particleswith no chance of entering the zeolite porosity. Only “short-chain” silanes dimethoxydimethyl andpropyltrimethoxy grafting demonstrated having an influence on the hydrophilic behavior of the modifiedzeolites.

Abstract

Standard zeolites 4A and 13X have been synthesized and modified by reaction with dimethoxydimethylsilane, propyltrimethoxy silane, octyltrimethoxy silane and octadecyltrimethoxy silane, respectively. Themodified zeolites were analyzed by X-Ray diffractometry, FTIR spectrometry and water adsorptionmeasurements. Results showed that silane molecules bonded to the external surface of zeolite particleswith no chance of entering the zeolite porosity. Only “short-chain” silanes dimethoxydimethyl andpropyltrimethoxy grafting demonstrated having an influence on the hydrophilic behavior of the modifiedzeolites. The main effect was a shift of the adsorption isotherms in the low partial pressure range towardsa more hydrophobic trend, which represents an interesting result for adsorption application when low temperature regenerations are required.
