I am trying to separate acetone/toluene/hexane and other contaminants from a range of terpene isolates via molecular sieves. To ensure that the terpenes are not adsorbed, I need to determine the molecular radius of each terpene. I understand each will have a different radius, but if you could provide a range, or formula to determine these figures, that would be very appreciated.
Thank you for your assistance
Hello Haddy, please read the attached documents and see if you would find something useful.
You may make a rough estimate of the molecular volume from the density of terpenes (0.7888 - 0.8673 g/mL) and their (average) molecular weight.
Thank you Maurice and Peter. Unfortunately, the information was not found in those articles but I appreciate your assistance.
I am specifically looking for the molecular radii of terpenes to determine the compatible molecular sieve to remove acetone while preserving the terpene isolates.
