ABSTRACT
44Zeolites which are used as adsorbent, ion exchanger and catalyst in several industrial applications have high affinity to various gases and vapors. However, although pre-adsorbed water in the structure of zeolites affects all applications of zeolites, the researches on adsorption of zeolite-water pair are limited and heat and mass transfer properties are not sufficient.
In this chapter, the effect of pre-adsorbed water and regeneration conditions on zeolite-water pair adsorption and characterization studies for different zeolites were given. Furthermore, common adsorption equilibrium and kinetics models used for zeolite-water pairs were summarized.
