Investigation of the energetic performance of pure silica BEC-type zeolite under high pressure water and 20 M LiCl intrusion-extrusion experiments

The energetic performances of the pure silica BEC-type zeolite are determined by high pressure intrusion-extrusion experiments with water and 20 M LiCl electrolyte aqueous solution. BEC-type zeosil displays a bumper behavior with water and a shock absorber with 20 M LiCl aqueous solution. The characterization of the sample before and after intrusion-extrusion experiments shows clearly that the BEC structure is more affected in the presence of water than with the 20 M LiCl solution.
