The sorption of aromatic (benzene, toluene and p-xylene) on MFI zeolites was studied by IR spectroscopy and calorimetry. In the sorption of aromatic, two types of interaction were identified, one is the non-specific interaction of the aromatic molecules with the pore walls as main energetic contribution and another one is the directed interaction of the aromatic molecules with the acidic sites as minor contribution. By using Langmuir model, the entropy and enthalpy were derived from the sorption isotherm profiles showing two energetic equivalent but different in entropy which can be assigned to the differences in sorption structure. For the characteristic of gas phase molecules sorption on zeolite surface, sticking probability was calculated and showing an order of 10-7 with the aromatic molecules which indicates to the total loss of all rotational entropy.
