Water proton and deuterium spin-lattice relaxation in Zeolite ZSM-5 by fast field-cycling NMR relaxometry

• The water dynamics in the confined space of the zeolite ZSM-5 has bee ninvestigated by means of the field dependence of 1H- and 2H- spin-lattice relaxation rates using a 1T Stelar FFC2000 fast field-cycling instrument. The NMRD analysis of  the experimental results indicates that the characteristic time dependence ( 50 ns to 1-2.4 μs) is due to water translational diffusion in narrow pores. The temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rates is weak.Zeolites with different counter ions( H+, NH4+ change the water hydration and the water translational diffusion in the pores drastically. The Zeolite-NH4+ slow down the water motion with a factor of 2.The NMRD profiles show somewhat stretched character and is described by two Lorenzian which indicates that the distribution of pore sizes is broaden.The water 1H and 2H spin lattice relaxation profiles give qualitatively information about water hydration in zeolites with different counter ions and is expected also to indicate structural changes of the zeolites.
