The adsorption and effective diffusivity of pyridine dissolved in heptane were measured in silica‐alumina pellets using a specially developed single‐pellet continous‐flow diffusion cell. The measured diffusivities varied between 0.43 × 10 −9 and 3.25 × 10 −9 m 2 ·s −1 ; the temperature dependence of the diffusivities indicated that both pore volume diffusion and surface diffusion play a role in the mass transfer.
