Fig. 3: Comparison of the single-component sorption speed of solid ZIF-8 and ZIF-8 slurries.
From: Efficient separation of butane isomers via ZIF-8 slurry on laboratory- and pilot-scale
Kinetic profiles of n-butane (a) and isobutane (b) in ZIF-8 slurries (left axis) and ZIF-8 powder, shaped ZIF-8 (right axis), where temperature, initial gas-slurry volume ratio, initial gas–solid volume ratio and solid ZIF-8 content in the slurries were set to 293.15 K, ~6.8, ~26.7 and 30 wt% respectively. CMC: Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium; c comparison of time for different sorption media to reach 90% of the equilibrium sorption capacity of n-butane, where “d” to “h” on the abscissa corresponds to 20 to 70 wt% of the water content in the solvent.
