Carbon dioxide is known as a hazardous material with acidic property that can be found as impurity in natural gas reservoirs with a broad range of 2 up to 40 %. Therefore, many efforts have been directed to remove and separate carbon dioxide from methane to prevent corrosion problems as well as improving the natural gas energy content. In this study, two molecular sieves, silicoaluminophosphate...

The adsorption and separation properties of 3A zeolite are investigated by using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation. To obtain the adsorption isotherms of water, methyl mercaptan, and methane on 3A zeolite, COMPASS Force Filed is used. The adsorption isotherms of the pure components and the ternary mixtures of water, methyl mercaptan, and methane on 3A zeolites are calculated. The Si...

An intensive study has been made to see the performance of the different liner materials with bentonite on the removal efficiency of Cu(II) and Zn(II) from industrial leachate. An artificial neural network (ANN) was used to display the significant levels of the analyzed liner materials on the removal efficiency. The statistical analysis proves that the effect of natural zeolite was significant ...

Glucose fatty acid esters can be served as a low calories fat replacer and emulsifier. The study aims to synthesize esters enzymatically catalyzed by immobilized lipase on the activated natural zeolite. Optimal immobilization carried out at temperatures of 37°C, with a ratio of enzyme: zeolite = 1: 3 (w / w) gave 74.81 % loading efficiency. Immobilization occurs on the surface of the zeolite ar...

For nearly 200 years since their discovery in 1756, geologists considered the zeolite minerals to occur as fairly large crystals in the vugs and cavities of basalts and other traprock formations. Here, they were prized by mineral collectors, but their small abundance and polymineralic nature defied commercial exploitation. As the synthetic zeolite (molecular sieve) business began to take hold i...

Due to crude oil is limited, new resources for fuel and petrochemicals are important to be developed. Biogas or NG (Natural Gas) can be easily converted into methanol which can be reacted over zeolite to produce olefins and gasoline. HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst has been used in this study and its modification by (0.5wt%, 1wt%, 2wt% and 4wt %) Ni to convert methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH). Catalysts ...
