Understanding Zeolite Catalysis: Inverse Shape Selectivity Revised

Understanding zeolite catalysis: inverse shape selectivity revised.

Anyone who has experience in moving house [the Angewandte team has just done this!] knows that those boxes filled with small books are the heaviest, because these small objects pack so easily. The same entropy effect explains the catalytic selectivity towards the formation of branched hydrocarbons in zeolites. The pink tubes represent the zeolite pores at high loading in which effective size di...

Morphology Induced Shape Selectivity in Zeolite Catalysis

Understanding the window effect in zeolite catalysis.

Zeolite Catalysis

The Special Issue “Zeolite Catalysis” published in the online journal Catalysts was recently successfully completed. A good number of peer-reviewed publications were published reflecting the broadness of the zeolite syntheses, characterizations and various application fields. This issue brought together recent research of well-known research teams from all over the world. The term “zeolite” is ...

Enhancement of CO2/CH4 Adsorptive Selectivity by Functionalized Nano Zeolite

In this work, we have modified a synthesized Y-type zeolite (Si/Al = 2.5), with three different amines to investigate of the influence of adsorbent’s surface modification on CO2 selectivity over CH4. The pristine and amine-functionalized NaY zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and N2 adsorption. The resu...
