Direct assessment of molecular transport in mordenite: dominance of surface resistances.
For the first time, macroscopic and microscopic diffusion measurements were combined for a single system: n-hexane in mordenite. Using tapered element oscillating microbalance and IR microimaging results, we unequivocally proved the dominant role of surface barriers for molecular transport.
