Hierarchical Macro-meso-microporous ZSM-5 Zeolite Hollow Fibers With Highly Efficient Catalytic Cracking Capability

Zeolite fibers have attracted growing interest for a range of new applications because of their structural particularity while maintaining the intrinsic performances of the building blocks of zeolites. The fabrication of uniform zeolite fibers with tunable hierarchical porosity and further exploration of their catalytic potential are of great importance. Here, we present a versatile and facile ...

High-pressure cation-exchange treatment of a ZSM-5 zeolite

ZSM-5 zeolite is an aluminosilicate that usually has a high silica-to-alumina ratio. It contains two sets of nanopores. One set of nanopores is straight, with the cross-sectional size of 5.3 5.6 Å; the other set is Sshaped, with the cross-sectional size of 5.2 5.5 Å. An A1 atom at the center of an AlO4 tetrahedron connects to adjacent SiO4 tetrahedron by sharing an O atom and thus generates a n...

Optical properties of chalcogen-loaded zeolite (ZSM-5)

Sulfur, selenium, and tellurium were loaded into sub-mm size ZSM-5 single crystals and the optical properties have been comparatively studied. S and Te show similar features, while Se is unique. S and Te have optical absorption edges at wavelengths of ~400 nm with transmission dips at ~450 nm, while Se has the edge at ~550 nm. The three materials provide photoluminescence at visible wavelengths...

Zeolite ZSM-5 Membranes Grown on Porous a-A1203

Zeolites have found widespread applications as catalysts and separation media. A L present, all technologies exploiting these materials use the zeolite in powder composite form. The desire to translate the molecular sieving properties of zeolite powder composites into a membrane configuration has long been recognized. To prepare such a membrane, the crystals must grow in an interlockng fashion ...
