Abstract

The diffusion mechanisms within zeolite catalysts, such as resistance to diffusion at pore mouths, configurational diffusion, adsorption-controlled diffusion, influence of co-existing molecules and pore blocking, were overviewed. Two kinds of diffusivities, the intracrystalline diffusivity and the effective diffusivity, were discussed separately to clarify the diffusion mechanism.
