Determination of the adsorption model of alkenes and alcohols on sulfonic copolymer by inverse gas chromatography.
The determination of a number of adsorption sites on sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer for alkenes (propene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, isobutene, 2-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 2-methyl-1-pentene, 2-methyl-2-pentene and 2-methyl-2-hexene) and alcohols (methanol, ethanol and n-propanol, n-butanol, 2-butanol and tert-butanol) was performed by the saturation copolymer with vapors of adsorbate, by removing the excess of adsorbate from copolymer by blowing the inert gas through copolymer bed and by the desorption of adsorbed alcohol in the programmed increase of temperature. The adsorption measurements were performed on sulfonated ion-exchange resin (Amberlyst 15) with different concentrations of the acid group, which means with a varying number of adsorption sites. The following adsorption models for alkenes were suggested: the first in which one molecule of alkene is adsorbed by two sulfonic groups, for linear alcohols, the second in which one sulfonic group can adsorb one molecule of alcohol and for non-linear alcohols the third where one molecule of alcohol is adsorbed by two or more sulfonic groups.
