A method for increasing the efficiency of thermal regeneration of silicalite-based sensor: molecular dynamics simulation

The molecular dynamics simulation has been used to find a nonlinear temperature dependence of the sorption/desorption probability coefficients in the methane–silicalite system. A method is proposed for using this nonlinearity to raise the efficiency of methane desorption from the silicalite via oscillatory heating. The results obtained can be used in thermal regeneration of zeolite-based gas-sensitive sensors.
