Neutron scattering studies of the dynamics and orientation of small molecules in simple zeolites and ionic hydrates

Objective



The aim of this project is to determine the effect of cations, anions and the aluminosilicate framework on the dynamics and orientation of small guest molecules in simple zeolites and hydrates. The techniques used will be quasielastic neutron scattering, inelastic neutron scattering and neutron diffraction. Systems studied will be with molecules such as ammonia, methane, water, oxygen and nitrogen in small-pored zeolites such as analcimes, sodalite, Na-A zeolites and also ionic hydrates. It is anticipated that the results from simple model systems will enable a greater understanding of the relative strengths of hydrogen bonding and cation bonding and will be applicable to more industrially relevant zeolite systems, such as those used in sewage treatment and gas purification.
