Dry organic solvents are important for many industrial sectors. Adsorptive water removal is one technique to obtain highly pure solvents. However, in-depth knowledge of the parameters influencing adsorption behavior is still fragmentary. This paper presents a systematic investigation of water adsorption from alcohols (C1 to C6) and acetic acid esters (methyl acetate to n-butyl acetate) of different chain lengths. Zeolites of types 3A and 4A are used as adsorbents. The impact of size exclusion on adsorption properties is analyzed. The water adsorption isotherms on zeolite 3A from solvents with a large critical molecular diameter are similar to the water vapor isotherm as expected from literature data. In case of smaller solvent molecules (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol) a significantly lower water adsorption capacity is found on zeolite 3A. In case of all solvents on zeolite 4A water adsorption is lower than water vapor adsorption even if the estimated molecular diameter is larger than the reported window a...
