Testing for Adsorption Capacity of Zeolites

You will find all you need to know in a set of books by the name of Aquametry, published by Wiley Interscience. If your local library doesn't have it, most university libraries do. Essentially you create saturated salt solution chambers that provide constant controlled humidity. You then expose samples of dried zeolite to the controlled humidity. The adsorbed water is normally measured as weight gain. The most commonly used instrument is the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA).

Thank you for your advise.

Kindest regards

Shadrach,

For additional information regarding Zeolites, refer to work which originated from the State University of New York, Professors Mumpten and Pond. Also, data produced by the International Council on Zeolites...(with diverse info. as to characteristics of many types of zeolite).

I work with only one type of zeolite, Clinoptilolite. My knowledge is limited, so I refer to Mumpten, Pond, and their colleagues.

Best wishes in your progress. jw

Thank you for your valuable information and your time for replying.
