Optical microscopy and XRD measurements show that silicalite-1 crystals expand when C-4-C-8 alkanes and i-butane adsorb in the MFI structure at room temperature. The c-direction linear expansion was 0.20-0.45%, and was measured with XRD and optical microscopy for 200 pm crystals. n-Pentane, n-hexane, and n-heptane had the maximum linear expansion of approximately 0.54% in the b-direction, and n-hexane and n-heptane had the maximum volume expansion of 1.2%. In contrast, benzene did not cause a significant change in the unit cell Volume. The a-direction expanded least for the molecules studied except i-butane. n-Hexane expanded the silicalite-1 crystal more at 180 K than at room temperature. Crystal expansion due to n-alkane adsorption decreased the size of defects in a polycrystalline MFI membrane, and changes in the fluxes of i-octane through defects were measured by transient permeation. Loadings as low as 0.5 molecule/unit cell decreased the flux through defects at 358-473 K, but benzene had no effect. Higher loadings increased crystal expansion and decreased the defect size more. Crystal expansion was reversible.
