Abstract: Molecular dynamics(MD) simulation of ethene diffusion in the lattice of H[Al]ZSM-5 was performed at the temperature ranging from 300 K to 700 K. The calculated diffusion coefficients increase with the temperature from 2.60×10-9 m2/s at 300 K to 12.78×10-9 m2/s at 700 K. The Arrhenius plot gives an activation energy of 6.31 kJ/mol. The anisotropy of the diffusion process was examined.

Key words: MD simulation, Ethene diffusion, H[Al]ZSM-5, Influence of temperature
