The selective preparation of monobenzyl glyceryl ethers, which are potential commodity chemicals with special functions, was explored to find new applications for glycerol. Among the acid catalysts investigated (sulfuric acid, heteropoly acid, Nafion(R), and zeolite), Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (ZSM-5) afforded better results. The reaction of equimolar amounts of glycerol and benzyl alcohol at 150º...

ZSM-5 nanoparticles coated with microporous organic polymers showed 88% retention of ammonia adsorption capacity at 43% RH.

The dynamics of carburization of Mo-oxo precursors exchanged onto H-ZSM-5 strongly influence initial induction periods and steady-state rates during catalytic pyrolysis of CH4 to alkenes and arenes at 900-1000 K. The effects of co-reactants and of activating conditions were examined by on-line time-resolved mass spectrometric analysis of effluent streams using rigorous analyses to account for e...

‘H magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) measurements on ZSM-5 synthesized with tetrapropylammonium ions as structure-directing template, calcined and hydrogen exchanged, indicate high concentrations of silanol groups (up to 4.6~ 10zo SiOH g-‘)_ ‘H NMR, “Na and % MAS NMR studies of zeolites ZSM-5 with different Si/Al ratios support a model which attributes the majority of th...

Zeolite micropattern created from structurally similar hydrophobic Sil-1 and hydrophilic ZSM-5 zeolites, and tested for the immobilization of fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate bovine serum albumin (BSA-FITC), biotin conjugate bovine serum albumin (Biotin-BSA), Hochest 33342 and rhodamine conjugate αbungatoxin, were preferentially deposited onto hydrophobic ZSM-5 patterns regardless of the pa...
