Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the capabilities of zeolites as selective sorbents for on-line dioxin monitoring. The adsorption isotherms of 2,3-DCDD and 1,2,3,4-TCDD from isooctane on several zeolites with different pore sizes (*BEA, EMT, FAU and MFI-type zeolites) are determined. Selective adsorption is shown for FAU and EMT-type zeolites. 2,3-DCDD is adsorbed by FAU with the highest adsorption capacity and affinity while 1,2,3,4-TCDD is not adsorbed whatever the zeolites. The adsorption of 2,3-DCDD inside the pores of FAU is qualitatively confirmed by diffuse reflectance UV spectrometry and thermogravimetry measurements.
