Revelation on the Complex Nature of Mesoporous Hierarchical FAU-Y Zeolites

On the rotational intergrowth of hierarchical FAU/EMT zeolites.

A structural study of a hierarchical zeolite X, which is similar to the one first synthesized by Inayat et al.,12 was performed using transmission electron microscopy imaging and diffraction. Evidence is provided, by comparison to simulations, that this material is an intergrowth of FAU and EMT and a conceptual model is presented for the growth of the FAU material with a small fraction of EMT i...

Hierarchical Y and USY zeolites designed by post - synthetic strategies

Organic-free synthesis of layer-like FAU-type zeolites.

The formation of layer-like FAU-type zeolites was facilitated in the absence of any organic template. Instead, the addition of simple inorganic salts turned out to be an effective and easy to handle alternative to organic additives to induce morphological and even structural changes during zeolite crystallisation.

Intracrystalline diffusion in mesoporous zeolites.

Specially synthesized extra-large crystallites of zeolite LTA with intentionally added mesoporosity are used for an in-depth study of guest diffusion in hierarchical nanoporous materials by the pulsed field gradient NMR technique. Using propane as a guest molecule, intracrystalline mass transfer is demonstrated to be adequately described by a single effective diffusivity resulting from the weig...

Revelation and the Nature of Colour

According to naïve realist (or primitivist) theories of colour, colours are sui generis mind-independent properties. The question that I consider in this paper is the relationship of naïve realism to what Mark Johnston calls Revelation, the thesis that the essential nature of colour is fully revealed in a standard visual experience. In the first part of the paper, I argue that if naïve realism ...
