Interference Microscopy Highlights Properties and Peculiarities of SAPO STA-7 Crystals

چکیده
1. Abstract In the framework of this study a new generation of SAPO STA-7 crystals has been investigated with the help of Interference Microscopy. The ability of the abovementioned technique to record intracrystalline concentration profiles during uptake/release of guest molecules revealed oddities of the system under study. In other words, these crystals have the tendency to break in the middle, enhancing in this way diffusion. On the other hand, molecules have to confront high surface barriers when they try to diffuse through the other sides of the crystal, where it is not broken.

Mapping of the organization of p-nitroaniline in SAPO-5 by second-harmonic generation microscopy.
Second-harmonic generation microscopy (SHGM) has been employed to study crystals of zeolite-like material SAPO-5 filled with p-nitroaniline (PNA). The SHG and 2-photon fluorescence response of PNA in the one-dimensional channels readily reveals the pore accessibility; intergrown crystallites containing hexagonal pyramidal components and internal diffusion barriers are found next to seemingly pe...
متن کاملMicrowave-assisted synthesized SAPO-56 as a catalyst in the conversion of CO2 to cyclic carbonates.
SAPO-56 crystals were synthesized via microwave heating. The resultant crystals displayed high catalytic activity in the synthesis of chloropropene carbonate from CO2 and epichlorohydrin. The enhanced catalytic activity of SAPO-56 crystals was related to their high CO2 adsorption capacity, small crystal size, and the presence of acid sites.

The crystallizatio n of mic roporous material SAPO-37 was studied under hydrothermal synthesis (HTS) and dry gel conversion (DGC) conditions. The evolution of the intermediate phases as a function of crystallization time was followed by several techniques including PXRD , SEM, AFM, and solid-state NMR. For DGC, SAPO-37 crystallizes from a semi-crysta lline layered precursor containing large por...

In this study, the effect of recrystallization of naproxen in the presence of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) on the release rate of drug was investigated. Crystals were generated by the anti-solvent approach using the HPC solution in water as the anti-solvent. The samples were subjected to various physicochemical evaluations such as crystal size, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier tran...

In this work, Mordenite zeolite was successfully synthesized with Si/Al ratio of 18 in absence of organic template. The hydrothermal method was applied for synthesis under optimum conditions: 24 h synthesis time, 180°C temperature and 2 days aging time. The obtained zeolite was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Trans...
