silicalite and NaX. There is also a good linear relationship between the logarithm of diffusivities and the pore diameter of zeolite (dp) for low carbon w-alkanes. So the diffusivity for a diffusate in a zeolite can be described by the equation as follows: a and b are constants. This relation could be used to estimate the pore diameter of new zeolite molecular sieves from the measurements of diffusivities of low carbon n-alkanes in them.
