  • Title: NMR diffusometry with beds of nanoporous host particles: an assessment of mass transfer in compartmented two-phase systems.
    Author: Krutyeva M, Kärger J.
    Journal: Langmuir; 2008 Sep 16; 24(18):10474-9. PubMed ID: 18710267.
    Abstract:
    Molecular diffusion in a bed of zeolite crystallites is mimicked by dynamic Monte Carlo simulation of a particle hopping on a two-dimensional square lattice. The resulting probability distribution of molecular propagation (the "mean propagator") is used for a rigorous determination of the resulting dependencies of diffusion measurement by pulsed field gradient NMR. In the limiting cases of intracrystalline, restricted, and long-range diffusion, these dependencies are found to coincide with the well-known relations resulting from the application of a simplifying exchange model (the "two-region" approximation). The intensity of transport resistances on the boundary between the intra- and intercrystalline spaces, i.e., on the compartment boundaries, is only accessible in the intermediate case, i.e., for observation times comparable with the mean lifetimes within the different compartments. In this case, significant differences between the results of the rigorous treatment and the "two-region" approximation may occur.
