Abstract

Through acid-leaching treatment, the degree of hydrophobicity of a zeolite β can be controlled in a broad range. As the treatment time increases, the nanopore surface can change from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, leading to the formation of an infiltration plateau in sorption isotherm curve. The infiltration pressure and hysteresis are dependent on the testing temperature. As temperature rises, the effective degree of hydrophobicity is lowered, while the defiltration is much more pronounced.
