摘要

The molecular dynamics techniques were used to simulate the diffusion of I-butene and n-butane in purely sliliceous ITQ-1 zeolite. The mean square displacement(MSD) plots, diffusion trajectories, and diffusion coefficients of 1-butene and n-butane were obtained. The results show that the molecules of 1-butene and n-butane can diffuse in the different independence channel systems of ITQ-1 zeolite at 400 K; the diffusion capability of 1-butene is less than that of n-butane. The differences in diffusivity were observed between 1-butene and n-butane, especially in the sinusoidal 10 member ring system. Similar features in the diffusivity were observed in the supereages. The diffusion and migration of 1-butene and n-butane mainly occurred in supercage system. On the other hand, the diffusion of those adsorbates at the center of the supercage is easier than those at the upper and lower of the supercage. It indicated that the reaction of the skeletal isomerization happen in 10-MR channel systems.
