Abstract

As is known, zeolites are aluminosilicates with a porous structure that have a great affinity for water, mainly caused by the presence of cations located in places that do not belong to the crystal lattice, but which compensate for the excesses of negative charges in the latter. These cations, due to their high heats of hydration, of the order of hundreds of kJ/ion-g, constitute centers of strong interaction with water molecules. Because of these strong adsorbate-adsorbent interactions, zeolites are excellent desiccants, especially in cases of low humidity.
