Effect of Ion Size on Pressure-Induced Infiltration of a Zeolite-Based Nanofluidic System

A nanofluidic system consists of a nano-porous medium and functional liquid, which demonstrates higher energy absorption density compared to conventional systems for absorption. Alterations in the composition liquid can significantly impact properties system. In this paper, widely used zeolite ZSM-5 was chosen as porous establish Three distinct electrolyte solutions, namely KCl aqueous NaCl solutions MgCl2 were employed liquids while pure water served reference condition configuring four kinds systems. Pressure-induced percolation experiments performed on zeolite-based The difference infiltration process between solution deionized has been ascertained. effect ion size defiltration determined. results show that introduction ions induces hydration effect, resulting critical pressure an magnitude cation charge directly correlates with strength corresponding increase pressure. Upon entering nanochannel, infiltrates primarily form rather than form. larger size, shallower penetration depth after nanopore channel relative outflow rate. present work will provide valuable theoretical complementary experimental data support applications.
