Abstract

Diffusion coefficients of water and cyclohexane in porous sol-gel glass of average pore diameter 2.9 nm were obtained using a radioactive tracer technique. This information was applied to calibrate the membrane in the diaphragm cell which was subsequently used to measure the diffusion coefficients for cyclohexane, acetone, toluene, acetonitrile, and chloroform. Results for cyclohexane were compared with computer simulation of molecular motion of cyclohexane in a model cylindrical pore of diameter 2.9 nm. Translational motion of polar liquids inside the pores was found to be faster than that of neutral, not wetting solvents.
