Mesoporous aggregates of nanocrystalline zeolites with MFI and BEA frameworks have been synthesized using a one-pot and single structure directing agent. The effect of different reaction conditions, such as temperature, time, pH and water content, on the particle size, surface area and mesopore volume has been studied. Nanocrystalline and mesoporous ZSM-5, β and Y zeolites were modified with di...

A control thick-film SnO2 gas sensor was modified with zeolites holding LTA, FAU and MFI frameworks using two different approaches to integrate them into the gas-sensing interface. The objective was to prompt selectivity and sensitivity enhancements that were otherwise unattained with the unmodified material when detecting a range of hydrocarbon vapours with similar molecular structures and kin...

A Mo-modified H-MFI zeolite (Mo/H-MFI) catalyst is one of a typical catalyst for direct GTL (Gas to liquid), because it shows high activity for dehydroaromatization of methane in absence of oxygen. In this reaction, reduction of Mo species is brought about in contact with methane in initial step, and reduced Mo ions react methane to form carbide and/or oxycarbide species in next step. It has be...

The high silica Mn-substituted MFI metallosilicate catalyst with Si/Al molar ratio of 220 and Si/Mn molar ratio of 50 was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. The catalyst sample was appropriately characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, EDX and BET techniques. The Mn-substituted MFI metallosilicate has not been reported as the potential catalyst for the methanol to propylene (MTP) reaction. T...
