Abstract

NaA, NaY and NaZSM-5 zeolites were characterized by CO2 adsorption at 273K. The results showed that the microporous volumes basing on D-A model were in agreement with the data form literature. The Horvath-Kawazoe (HK) models (HKsphere, HKcylinder and HKslit) were used to analyze pore size distributions (PSDs). It was shown that the HKsphere model correctly described the pore structure of NaA, NaY and NaA+NaY mixture, while HKcylinder model could well characterize the pore structure of NaZSM-5. In the case of NaA+NaZSM-5 mixture, including the spherical and cylindrical pores, both HKsphere and HKcylinder model were needed to get PSDs.
