IVloLECULAR SIEVES offer excellent opportunities for separations which are otherwise difficult to achieve. Particularly, the isolation of normal paraffins—a classical problem in petroleum chemistry—can be very efficiently carried out by Molecular Sieves Type 5A. The similarity to separations by complexes with urea is obvious. The two separation methods are similar also in some details important in techni-cal applications: The amount of reagent required is high, and the regeneration of thereagent is rather complicated. The further development of uses for Molecular Sieves makes desirable an extensive set of pertinent data. The object of the present work, like that of a previous investigation of urea complexes (15), was a systematic description of the sorption of normal paraffins as a function of temperature, concentration, and molecular size. Reasonable completeness was considered to be more important than high accuracy.For the representation, interpolation, and limited extrapolation of the experimental results a recently pro-posed sorption isotherm (16) has been found more useful than previously suggested relations. It leads to some crude conclusions concerning the mechanism of sorption in Molecular Sieves. A comparison with the theory ofmulti-layer sorption of Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller furnishes interesting information.
