—A machine learning approach is applied to classify zeolite crystals according to their framework type. The Zeolite-Structure-Predictor is introduced based on the Random Forest algorithm. Zeolites structural data from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) are used to train the model. The ZSP uses sixteen attributes including topological descriptors obtained with statistical geometry a...

Owing to the recent progress in the area of hardware and software of the pulsed field gradient NMR technique, molecular transport in real-life zeolite systems, such as zeolite beds and particles of formulated fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts, can be investigated in detail. These studies have revealed a number of important features of molecular transport in zeolites, which are reviewed i...

A hierarchical zeolite CaA with microporous, mesoporous and macroporous structure was hydrothermally synthesized by a ”Bond-Blocking” method using organo-functionalized mesoporous silica (MS) as a silica source. The characterization by XRD, SEM/TEM and N2 adsorption/desorption techniques showed that the prepared material had well-crystalline zeolite Linde Type A (LTA) topological structure, mic...

A new class of silica-based zeolite capsule catalyst was readily prepared employing a dual-layer method under close-to-neutral conditions. In a tandem catalysis process, the precisely controlled synthesis of dimethyl ether was realized. This new concept of H-type zeolite shell preparation and application represents a powerful approach for preparing high-performance, multifunctional catalysts.

RECEIVED DATE (to be automatically inserted after your manuscript is accepted if required according to the journal that you are submitting your paper to) Preparation of high-quality single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been advanced by controlling several parameters including the catalyst and the catalyst support material. Although zeolite has been frequently used as a catalyst support ma...

N,N,N-Trimethylanilinium cations were synthesized on acidic zeolite H-Y by direct reaction of N,N-dimethylaniline and methanol. Time-resolved observation of the detailed decomposition process of N,N,N-trimethylanilinium cations was achieved by in situ 13C stopped-flow (SF) MAS NMR spectroscopy at reaction temperatures of 498 K to 573 K.

The ion exchange of Na for Cr/K, Cr/Mg and Cr/Ca in Y and X zeolites was studied using breakthrough curves. It was observed that Cr ions were able to remove some competitive ions that had already been exchanged at the zeolitic sites, producing a sequential ion exchange. Some mass transfer parameters such as length of unused bed, overall mass transfer coefficient, operational ratio and dimension...
