## Abstract Sorption and desorption in zeolites (molecular sieves) have to be considered as complex processes, involving simultaneous diffusion in zeolite crystals, mass transfer in the intercrystalline void of a pellet, and heat transfer between the zeolitic sorbent and its surroundings. The kinet

β¦ Synopsis
Sorption and desorption kinetics of n-hexane in zeolite H-RHO have been measured at several temperatures. If Qt is the amount sorbed or desorbed at time t and Qo~ is this amount in the final state then plots of Qt/Qoo against t show negative temperature coefficients at each Qt for sorption and positive coefficients for desorption. Sorption occurred much more rapidly than desorption at low temperature but the difference in rates decreased with rising temperature. These observations have been considered and explained in terms of the boundary conditions between the crystals at different depths in the bed of zeolite powder and the local vapour phase.
