The bulk and Young moduli have been calculated at the DFT level (РВЕ, PBE-D3) using VASP for cationic zeolite forms upon water addition [1] and the formation of carbonates during CO2 adsorption [2,3]. A qualitative agreement of the calculated elastic moduli of zeolites with the corresponding experimental data has been found. Upon the addition of water, the monovalent alkali ion and divalent alkaline earth ion exchanged zeolites presented opposite trends in the elastic modulus. The main contribution to a decrease of elastic modulus of alkali exchanged forms is assigned to cationic shift from framework oxygen atoms upon water addition while cationic coordination number often remains the same. An opposite increase of elastic modulus in divalent (alkaline earth) exchanged forms is conditioned by cation stabilization possibly due to its higher coordination which cannot be achieved within rigid zeolite framework without water. A similar mechanism of the decrease of the elastic constants has been found during the formation of carbonates in the same zeolites, leading to a substantial migration of alkali cations, which actually shield the carbonate or bicarbonate anion from the negatively charged framework of the zeolite.
