Water vapor adsorption on metal-exchanged hierarchical porous zeolite-Y

The development of efficient zeolite-based adsorbents with high water uptake capacity is an essential requirement for water adsorption and moisture removal technologies. In the present study, zeolite-Y samples with interconnected hierarchical micro-mesoporous network were synthesized by employing a bifunctional cationic polymer (namely, polydiallydimethyl-ammonium chloride, PDDA), and ion-exchanged with several metal salts (such as Zn, Mg, Li)...
